MHF-F16-4103
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.

Pt brought in because they locked themself in their room and wouldn’t come out. Police involvement encouraged patient to come in to see a therapist. Dad refused to take patient home fearing that patient would become aggressive. Patient has historically been violent in times of parents taking away electronics. CPS report made. CPS did not feel patient should be forced to go home with dad because patient was threatening dad while in the ER that they were going to notify police that dad and roommate forced them to take marijuana edibles. Referral made to 180 degree shelter, who declined.

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.

Grandma is guardian and pt is unable to return there due to another child living there that pt can’t be placed with. CMH worker has made multiple RTC referrals and patient has been denied by almost all. Currently looking into a RTC out of state in TN, however this provider does not have a contract so would be a long time before this placement was obtained. Also looking at shelter options.
