Post Type Description

MHF-M14-6607

Youth came to our ED this time on 2/21 after physical aggression at his GH where he injured staff. This is the 3rd time he has boarded with Fairview in the past month. The GH has taken him back previously however are reluctant this time and are considering an immediate suspension but may be willing to take him back one more time with additional supports. Trying to get started with Youth ACT for additional support, they are reviewing but have concerns related to DD and if they are a proper fit. County is also trying to pursue CABHH and PRTF simultaneously as they feel he needs a higher LOC but have not gotten acceptance. Was previously at Northwoods PRTF for 1.5 year. Looking for any additional supports that could be offered to this youth in the GH to make it successful. Currently has 3:1 staffing at the GH, psychiatry, therapy multiple times per week, has had MCCP behavioral analyst in the past and another referral is being made there, seeing if he may qualify for Youth ACT, and if not ACT looking to connect him to MIDB for psychiatry.

MHF-M14-6458

Youth came in to our ED 1/8 after altercation at his Group Home where he has 3:1 staff. Initial recommendation was IP but he was denied by several units. He stabilized while waiting in the ED and the recommendation changed to discharge. Struggling due to sensory needs and the environment of an ED.

Referral being made for youth ACT team but unsure if he will be accepted due to DD diagnoses. Has DD waiver and CM.

MHF-M16-6455

Youth came into our ED on 1/13/26 and was determined to be ready for discharge. Came from Grandparents who are refusing to take him home until he gets SUD treatment. He is unagreeable to SUD treatment at this time, willing to do OP. County is not funding shelter due to not having custody. Parent referred shelter referrals have been made however custodians refused the Bridge who were looking at accepting him. Has been to Lakeside Academy and Wings SUD treatment in the past and eloped from both. No waiver currently. FV Maplewood declined primarily due to pt being unagreeable to treatment, but also due to concerns of elopement and Grandparents being willing to get him from the ED. Has been declined by many other RTCs as well. Referral pending with Anthony Louis.
