MHF-F13-7007
Youth came into the ED 7/2, from home, after being discharged from Fairview’s IPMH program on 7/1. Mom is refusing to allow her to return home. IP unit set pt up with attachment-based therapy to start 7/2, day treatment to start 7/9, psychiatry appt 7/9, and a referral for CTSS when available. Parents are declining to take back with those services. County offered CIBS services again as well, parents refused. Parents state they will only take home with 24/7 in home care which isn’t an option. Parents also state they will only accept RTC or a permanent group home (CRS) There is no current LOC recommendation for RTC, and pt just got onto the wait list for MNchoices assessment yesterday for the 1st time, so neither are options currently. Parents are not allowing referrals to parent referred shelters as those are not permanent solutions. No placements being explored currently because parents aren’t agreeable to current options., and no CPS involvement for County paid shelters.
