[QUOTE="Paighton, post: 609513, member: 17038"] I posted a reply earlier and it said it needed approval. My next post however went immediately so not sure if my first one got stuck in cyber [I]space. [/I] I looked into NAMI. It is for the United States. We live in Canada. I have an employee assistance program thru my work that I can get counseling with. I am a 911 dispatcher so there has been a time or two that I need to use the service for work related issues. They respond very quickly. I have spoken to both the teen mental health center he went to and to the hospital that held him on a 72 hour psychiatric form, they both said the same thing. He is refusing all help so until he agrees, there is nothing that can be done. I am holding out hope he will respond to my text messages and meet me this coming weekend.
