[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 491094, member: 11001"] You can bet on that! What these systems (including schools, which I am all to familiar with) want to do is perpetuate what they already do despite the fact that the results don't support what they do. They are run by people who are too affraid, or lack innovativeness to take a leap into a different world. The way things have always been is expensive. The state programs and schools, are top heavy. They are also liability heavy-so insurance costs are high. The kind of supervision needed doesn't happen because the licensed people are too busy trying to get money to keep the sh**thank you(self censor!) program going. Many are burnt out and leave the hands- on to undertrained people. I read recently a judge, back east, started a new program because he got tired of dealing with the same kids over and over and sending them to "one way" street programs where they just get worse. He has like 99% success. Kids stay with their families and have huge accountability-tracking, in home services. They all were novel to me-not your run of the mill stuff. It took someone who was not in the residential or mental health field to say, "I know these kids can succeed and this is what they need". He runs the program on a dime and no public funds! I so want to know more but have to find the article again. I think it was in Psychology Today I believe. Some day I will have time to build such a fascility and to advocate for these kids. Ours are lucky Klmno-they have us. However, most have noone. Several of the girls at the DBT place were on an adoption list at age 16!! One begged me to adopt her. They need real advocates and real programs. Hang in there! Sending you vibes that lawyer, PO,and transition lady grow brains and get what you need for your boy! [/QUOTE]
