Mental Health Collaboration Hub
Pt came into our ED on 6/13 after a verbal altercation at home with mom, where she left the house and walked to the police station who called crisis and brought pt to ED. Mom is refusing to pick up. Its reported pt was in residential treatment until April 2024, and prior to that was in PHP through Fairview. Mom reports that Case Manager is looking into residential treatment again however we have been unable to reach the CM and their offices are closed the rest of this week. Unsure if there is a recommendation for residential or county approval for that LOC.
Recommended Service: Crisis Stabilization

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.
