Its reported pt was in residential treatment until April 2024, and prior to that was in PHP through Fairview.

Came to ED on 6/2 after a fight with her guardian, Grandma. Grandma reported she has run away in the past and had made comments related to SI. Grandma refused to pick up and then flew to another state, notifying us she did not know when she would return. We tried to refer to shelter programs, but struggled due to Grandma’s unwillingness to work on reunification post shelter placement. CPS has now opened and will be pursuing temp custody, once they have that they will pursue placement options.

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.
