Kiddo was previously boarding on our IPMH unit from 10/30/24-12/11/24, then discharged to hotel crisis respite. He came to the ED multiple times end of January for behavior at the hotel crisis placement. Upon driving home from ED on 2/1, pt became aggressive in the car and was brought back to the ED again. The provider now indicated that he is unable to return to their crisis program. He has been accepted at Chelida in WI, however its reportedly a long wait list, and they may not be able to admit him until this summer. He is also on the wait list for CABHHS but it’s reported they would not have a bed for him for several months. Needing an interim crisis placement while awaiting placement at Chelida. Referral is being made for Nexus YCT to assist with placement coordination. He is suspected to have autism however the full assessment has not been completed for diagnosis.

Kiddo was brought into our ED on 1/9/25 by her County Case Manager. She was in residential treatment at Deveruex in FL for over a year, she then aggressed, and was charged with assault so was brought to a JDC for 21 days in FL. After that time was up, she was ordered back to MN and the County had no placement so she was brought to the ED. Ramsey County currently has custody. Their goal is a long term group home with 2:1 staffing, but are needing somewhere for pt to go in the interim. Our team tried to refer to Nexus YCT for placement assistance, but the County worker refused that service. She has been declined by Gerard and North Homes RTCs. She currently is eligible for waiver placements but a waiver worker won’t be assigned until placement is found, so the Child Family Svs worker is doing all referrals, for MH and waiver placements. County is currently refusing hotel crisis as an option.

Kiddo came to our ED from NW Passages in WI on 1/3. She can not return to NW Passages as she has told them she refuses to return there. She had made threats to peers and family while there and was showing increased aggression. She was only going to remain there until turning 18 this spring and then the team did not know where she was going to go next. Currently they are looking at shelters, PRTFs, and anywhere that may accept her. (We have not had a team meeting yet to get full details) There is an intake meeting with Nexus YCT today at 1pm to get their assistance with placement.
