[QUOTE="Janna, post: 249364, member: 2737"] It depends what type of "group home" they're talking about. There's theraputic foster care, there's independent living type environments (like halfway houses), there's Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) (Residential). All, individually, can have outstanding results, but require components. #1, the child has to be willing to work. It's not "have fun and go home in 5 months after doing nothing". #2, good staff, good psychiatrist, good therapist. Some places have psychiatrists that are contracted out, for example, that aren't on staff. So psychiatrists are stuck relying on info from the therapist or staff or whoever, and alot of times, too many hands in the pot makes a mess. #3, good discharge plan with goals. Those are what I think is important, having been down all 3 roads. I'm sorry he had to be removed, but you weren't safe. You need to take this time for yourself, Gwenny. [/QUOTE]
