The applicant applied to the Child and Family Services Review Board to review an emergency admission to a secure treatment program.
The applicant argued that the statutory criteria for emergency admission under the Child, Youth and Family Services Act were not met.
The Board found that the applicant had a mental disorder characterized by emotional dysregulation, which resulted in a recent suicide attempt and physical aggression towards others.
The Board concluded that all five criteria for emergency admission were met and denied the application for release.
