Pt presented to ED with family after FBI visited family after an anonymous tip that patient was having SI and HI regarding a mass shooting in the context of worsening depression and anxiety. Pt acknowledged recent homicidal ideation as a means to justify ending his own life. Initially pt denied creating a written plan, denies attempts to get a gun or have possession of a gun, or thought of a specific school or time he would do this, though, he now states he identified two elementary schools as potential targets. During past assessments he has acknowledged reasons for not going forth with this shooting – like the attempt would fail and he would be in a worse situation and he does not want to actually hurt people. Similarly, suicidal thoughts are present with thoughts of shooting himself, but does not have intent or obtained means to act on it. Although these are moderate-high risk thoughts, patient is able to keep self and others safe while in the hospital at this time. Aspects of his clinical history that put pt at risk for progressing to future violence include pre-occupation with prior shooters, nihilistic beliefs, and time spent in a potentially radicalizing online community. Additionally, mom reported partner had a gun in the home and patient + step-brother was looking around the house for this gun. The leading drivers of current SI and HI seem to be significant anxiety and co-morbid depression. Has experienced significant neglect and sexual abuse that have impacted his current mood and outlook as well.

Youth came to our ED this time on 2/21 after physical aggression at his GH where he injured staff. This is the 3rd time he has boarded with Fairview in the past month. The GH has taken him back previously however are reluctant this time and are considering an immediate suspension but may be willing to take him back one more time with additional supports. Trying to get started with Youth ACT for additional support, they are reviewing but have concerns related to DD and if they are a proper fit. County is also trying to pursue CABHH and PRTF simultaneously as they feel he needs a higher LOC but have not gotten acceptance. Was previously at Northwoods PRTF for 1.5 year. Looking for any additional supports that could be offered to this youth in the GH to make it successful. Currently has 3:1 staffing at the GH, psychiatry, therapy multiple times per week, has had MCCP behavioral analyst in the past and another referral is being made there, seeing if he may qualify for Youth ACT, and if not ACT looking to connect him to MIDB for psychiatry.

Parent referred shelter referrals have been made however custodians refused the Bridge who were looking at accepting him. Has been to Lakeside Academy and Wings SUD treatment in the past and eloped from both. No waiver currently. FV Maplewood declined primarily due to pt being unagreeable to treatment, but also due to concerns of elopement and Grandparents being willing to get him from the ED.
