Patient was admitted from Essentia Health in Duluth after attempting to run away from home. Pt has conflict w/ dad & has made HI statements toward him (burning him, switching meds out so he will OD). Pt also has a Hx of inappropriate sexual behavior with older men & on the internet.

Historically, patient lived with extended relatives for the first 11 years of her life due to mitigating circumstances that did not allow biological parents to meet her needs. Patient then went to live with her biological mom and was then sent to live with her dad, as mom was unable to meet patient needs.

MCR-M16-378

16 year old, county ward, who has been at Gerard Academy for 1.5 months and had escalating SI in the context of conflict with peers at Gerard and then ultimately learning that father’s parental rights were terminated. Long previous history of neglect and possible abuse, multiple family members with substance use disorders. At Gerard was leaving the facility and finding sharps to potentially harm himself with. Initially was recommended for inpatient psychiatric care, but declined by all facilities due to history of aggression or behavioral issues in those facilities previously. Eventually acute SI resolved while boarding in the ED, but as plans have been made to work on return to Gerard, he has repeatedly stated he does not want to go back there and will hurt himself or others if he does. His case manager reports that similar statements have arisen repeatedly in the past as placement facilties start to challenge him and seem to serve the function of avoiding difficult emotions. Currently trying to work with Gerard staff and case manager to help him safety plan for a return to Gerard.
