[QUOTE="buddy, post: 580000, member: 12886"] I think nami is a good option and another is your state's brain injury alliance. They have case workers too. I wonder if having joint guardianship with the county would help? They could compel a secure living situation and "help" him become medication compliant. Your being still involved can help ensure he doesn't get lost in the system. You may be past being able to emotionally handle that and that would be understandable. My son is brain injured too. He has a MA waiver which adds a budget for non MA covered services, that can include housing when he's ready (he's only 16). There are waiting lists for most waivers but people are pushed ahead if they are going to cost the county more in other ways. Even if there's a years long waiting list it's worth it because he's still going to be brain injured down the road. Does he have a county case manager? Our county uses public health nurses to case manage Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Just ideas, I know everywhere is different but thought I'd throw out options in case. I'm sorry you're going through all of this. He sounds very dangerous to himself, and our society doesn't handle neuro-behavioral disabilities well. I feel for you.....hugs. [/QUOTE]
