[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 587828, member: 14356"] I know we are in a different country JKF but our mental health service offers a program where the mentally ill patient is provided with an advocate who knows how to navigate the system and all the red tape that goes with it. They know what services are available and how to get them. Once the patient has an advocate they always have that advocate. Maybe NAMI offers something like this? I'm hoping to get my difficult child set up with someone like this as well and if I can catch him in a good frame of mind then I will be able to have a say in it and be able to have contact with his advocate as well (difficult child would have to approve). I'm sorry you are so frustrated. I certainly understand the frustration. You are right about the fact that so many homeless are homeless because they have mental illness. It is a broken system at best (in both our countries). I wish it weren't so. [/QUOTE]
