Update 5/23/24: Needs psycho-sexual eval, but there is no place to send him to have it done as it can’t be done in the hospital.
Pt was brought into ED on 5/11 by mother due to allegations of abuse. Mother resides in DV shelter and shelter is not allowing pt to return there due to pt behaviors (bangs his head, kicks walls, makes threats, aggression toward mother.) Mother is trying to find new housing so that pt can return to her. County referrals made to Northwoods, North Homes, Village Ranch and Mille Lacs Academy- programs thus far are months out. Barrier to many programs is pt age. County JST is meeting today at 10:30am to discuss further options. Planning to refer for Nexus YCT once discussed with all team members and ROI is received.
Recommended Service: Corporate Group Home
A corporate group home for youth is a residential facility operated by a corporate entity, providing housing, supervision, and support services for young individuals. These homes are often designed to offer a stable environment for youth who may face challenges or need assistance, such as those in the foster care system or with behavioral issues. The corporate aspect indicates that it is managed by a business or organization rather than a government agency or non-profit.
