[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 525986, member: 455"] Daisy, yes walk away. Interesting that just recently this is sort of a conversation I had with middle difficult child's worker. The agency we work with mainly works with kids that are either part of the CPS system or truly come from dysfunctional families. As she put it "the kids come home to chaos, live in chaos". Most of them don't necessarily have too many "true" mental health issues. While they offer a lot of different programs and she has knowledge of a lot of services, none of them truly 'help" those with mental health issues sadly. This isn't your state but I have seen this in several states I have now lived. This CD board has more wisdom with us parents collectively and has gotten us through much more then most of our services. We are not the professionals but we know our way around and bounce off things to and with each other and get through what we need to because we have access to not just a single mind, or at least that is my thought. There are thoughts of all kinds and we come at things from that perspective to brain storm what's going on from any issue, including medications. This too is sad. Clearly I've seen that the "professionals" end up being my back up "support" people instead of the treating professionals that they ought to be. The only thing that they actually are "treating" is in writing out the prescriptions because, well I don't have a degree or license to be able to do so or to write out for diagnostic tests. I also now consider the fact (from history) that if I don't have these professionals in my back pocket so to speak, there is no paper trail just in case things go south and accusations fly in the wrong direction. I can help or hurt, true, (and I've had both happen). It's just a matter of making sure that when ever building a team you be sure that you have good people on your team that can back you up should a problem arise. Hope this made sense to everyone.
