[QUOTE="ksm, post: 694513, member: 12511"] Dear ThinkPurple... I hear your pain... THanks Brownback!! (Our governor, who won't expand Medicaid benefits...because...you know...Obama...and tax cuts for businesses...and trickle down theories) Absolutely asinine that a working mother with 4 kids can't be eligible for help. Keep calling...calling...calling...someone has got to have some ideas. Where is the local mental health facility? Ours has a crisis staff...for people that have a mental crisis, threatens suicide, etc. Get a notebook, make a list of everyone you have called. Call The KS branch of NAMI. Maybe they will have ideas, plus they have classes you can take for free. See if there is a Circles Of Hope in your area. They can help you connect with community services. If the children have a medical card, they have mental health benefits. Call the number on the back of the card and ask for help. I live in KS and both my teen girls got a case management team, and during the "crisis" time they had a person that met with them each week. Respite care was discussed, but I didn't feel the need. We had private insurance, but we qualified for the medical card based on their needs. Keep the notebook going, plus, keep a calendar of the children's behaviors. See if you have a Head Start or similar program for the younger children. Keep in touch with this forum. KSM [/QUOTE]
