My difficult child (17, ADHD), husband, and I have an appointment to meet with a case manager tomorrow (difficult child is willing). This is where we have landed after marginally successful attempts at interventions at school, home, and psychiatrist/therapist's office to help with ADHD, as well as rule breaking and serious risky behaviors.
Several months ago, we were given the name of a case manager by difficult child's therapist, after I had expressed that we needed further intervention; that is, I had asked the therapist about summer camps for troubled teens, facilities like boarding schools, etc. The therapist suggested I call a case manager at the same facility.
For several reasons, I did not pursue this appointment with the case manager until now. I truly am just looking for a mentor type/mediator type to support and work with our family and don't know if a case manager is the right direction to go.
Thank you for listening! Any suggestions will be very greatly appreciated.
