[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 656224, member: 18958"] Hi Up and Down I second the idea of Job Corps. My son went at age 18. There is a lot of structure, support and they know how to handle mental illness. I have only good things to say about Job Corps. And to complete a vocation by age 18 is icing on the cake. Your son has already demonstrated that he can handle the stress and challenges of a residential program.The thing you will have to think about is whether your son is equipped and motivated to handle the demographic and geographical adjustments that Job Corps presents. Perhaps he is bored. What are your son's goals? Has he talked to somebody about career goals, college? Might the Department of Rehabilitation work with him now? Depending upon his interests you can talk to him about the possibility of early admission to college or going to the military, when he is 18. The fact that he is on a path...to a goal...might give him heart. I wish you and he the best. [/QUOTE]
