Mental Health Collaboration Hub
Patient presented to the ER 1/21. Patient is familiar to us. Patient has a complex psychosocial history with prior CPS involvement and a chaotic home environment. Patient typically does well in the ER & hospital setting but struggles at home with severe aggression and behavioral dysregulation in relation to conflict with parents. Patient does not appear to comprehend the severity of his actions and feels like his actions are justified (which appears to be related to his level of functioning). Patient likely needs a crisis respite placement/group home placement, but his CADI waiver and insurance are on hold while transferring to Benton County.
Recommended Service: Group Home
Group Homes are residential facilities where individuals, often children or adults with special needs, live in a group setting with support and supervision provided by trained staff.

GH is likely going to take him back once they can figure out staffing and some modifications. Looking for potential ideas to further support this youth in the community. Referral being made for youth ACT team but unsure if he will be accepted due to DD diagnoses. Has DD waiver and CM.

Youth came into our ER on 12/2 after an episode of aggression at the Crisis Home. The crisis home will be willing to take them back in the future, but not until the other individual in the home has moved out, which won’t be taking place until end of January, They also want to have increased staffing and put rights restrictions into place. It will be almost 2 months before that can happen. Looking for an interim plan for them. Pt is open to waiver, has mild intellectual disability. Also has CMH, but treatment placements are not being explored as pt has been to those in the past (Northwood, Chelida, and Grafton) and more recently treatment placements have all denied them, so primarily looking at waiver paid placements.
