Youth came to the ER 10/20. County has custody and she was under a trial home visit with Mom. County indicated at first that it wasn’t safe for her to return home until an investigation was completed. Had a plan to return her home 10/27 however pt has lupus and ongoing rheumatologist requested labs be completed so she was admitted to our medical floor overnight for those. The next day she was struggling emotionally saying she didn’t want to go home with Mom, and on 10/29 the County reported they were no longer planning to return her to Moms at this time. They are looking for temp alternative placement. Report she isn’t eligible for County paid shelter/foster as she is still on trial home visit with Mom. Have her on the list for YSC crisis but uncertain when there may be an opening. Also exploring waiver crisis respite and potential in home waiver services to support the family. Recently completed RTC so not eligible for that currently.

C8SM8SP-F14-7632

When the altercation went on for longer, the patient contacted the police while still at her group home.

She was brought to Children’s ED, received a mental health evaluation and was recommended to discharge. At this time, pt is no longer able to return to group home.
AH-F16-7617
Previous psychiatric diagnoses: PTSD, depression, anxiety, eating disorder, ADHD, complex trauma, suicide attempts, self-harm
Patient presented to the ED after reporting SI to their guardian. Patient reports a near daily experience of SI and AH/VH of his brother who abused him. Therefore, this is not a new symptom. Patient reports that yesterday there was no particular trigger for his SI and AH/VH, that he took a PRN medication, which usually works for him, and then called his guardian who told him to go to the ED.
While in the ED (and as is common in the community), patient will attempt to use clothing to strangle themselves when dysregulated, often revolving around trauma.
Guardian is Dakota County (Tori Thompson). No contact order for anyone in the biological family.
Hospitalized in ND for a full year and a recent over month stay at Children’s for placement from which they were placed in Mn Care Counseling Crisis home.
Crisis home has given an immediate termination notice and state as they are a crisis home they do not require a 30 day notice, due to inability to keep pt safe. They report running into traffic as a particular concern.
Recommendation is discharge with ongoing outpatient support coping skills, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and behavioral support. Pt presentation appears to be baseline and unlikely to mitigated by an admission which may conversely increase risk of maladaptive coping skills and hospital seeking behavior.
