1. Review each case of a child who:
(a) Has been admitted to a hospital or mental health facility;
(b) Has not been subject to abuse or neglect; and
(c) Is at risk of the relinquishment of custody to an agency which provides child welfare services or the voluntary placement with a public or private institution or agency pursuant to NRS 432B.360 solely to allow the child to receive services for a mental illness or emotional disturbance.
2. Develop a plan of care for each child described in subsection 1 that outlines the services necessary to treat the mental illness or emotional disturbance of the child and prevent the relinquishment of custody or the voluntary placement of the child.
3. Arrange for the provision of:
(a) Services necessary to stabilize the mental and physical health of the child for not more than 90 days while the plan of care is being developed. Such services may include, without limitation, intensive community-based services or placement in a residential facility.
