[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 110672, member: 3072"] I dont' believe there's adequate help in any state. I know there isn't here. Its like you said...no one wants it to be thier problem so they push them out. This happens with my difficult child all the time. No one really wants to dig in and really help because they don't want it to be their problem. Brain injury field doesn't want to deal with psychiatric issues because they don't feel its part of the brain injury and the mental health field doesn't want to deal with her because they feel brain injury specialists should. Crisis doesn't want to present her for a bed because they think its just a family squabble and when she does get in, they just want to treat her like a queen so she "appears" stable so they can send her home. Programs have been approved for her that wouldn't address her needs or be beneficial in any way. Unfortunately, we are not unique in being treated this way...it happens all the time. As far as Cho, it seems there were people who did the right thing but there was not a whole lot they could do. I'm guessing the system broke down for him LONG before he hit Va Tech and the problem is not at the college level but in earlier years when families are knocking on doors and no one is answering.
