[QUOTE="klmno, post: 167361, member: 3699"] He called back to give me a couple of phone numbers. We chatted for a bit about the stigma that is still so profound and he told me that our local chapter (that he is VP of) is going to start working with our police force because the police agreed that if they get a call for a disruption and it turns out to be a mental health issue, they should be taking the person to a mental health facility instead of arresting them. (HUH? You mean they don't already know that and aren't doing that already?- No- not unless the policeman knows you personally. HUM) So, I asked if maybe they could squeeze in a class for the cops about what to do if a parent calls about a difficult child. Anyway, he gave me his phone number if I ever need his support or a point in the right direction again. Then he asked me to join the local chapter- I guess they are hurting for money. Nice guy- seems helpful. I might even call him someday and see if he'd mind talking to difficult child to let him know that BiPolar (BP) kids can grow up and they really don't turn into horrible aliens. [/QUOTE]
