[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 347890, member: 3444"] Brenna's mom has a blog. Jani (short for "January") and Brenna's stories were covered locally about 6 months ago. This story appears to be an update on their stories since then. I am exhausted just thinking about the stress those families are under on a daily basis. Reminds me of many CD families here. We've only just had a fraction of the instability these poor kids have been dealing with their whole lives. I hope that this story helps generate more support for mental health programs. It puts a very real face to the situation. I also thought it was powerful to compare the homeless "crazyman" on the corner in Westwood (near UCLA) to the potentiality of these kids' fates. People need to understand that if we continue to ignore or undermine support for mental health, the consequences for affected individuals AND our whole society are dire. [/QUOTE]
