[QUOTE="bran155, post: 181879"] Timer lady, yes I have something called STEP in my life now, new sw who is fabulous!! This program is very similar to case management. We have applied for every service available to the mentally ill in my county. We have put in for residential services if needed, independent living, a mobile psychiatric team which monitors my daughters medication intake as well as her therapy sessions and an array of other things that I can't think of off hand. We also have a court date on the 21st. My daughter came out of her last Residential Treatment Center (RTC) in Feb and we still are being monitored by the family court system. The plan is to changer her statis from a JD to mentally impaired, so she can receive psychiatric services she wouldn't otherwise qualify for with the JD title. Now what the judge and dss wants to do is another thing. My case worker at social services might go to court and request to have my daughter remanded and put back into an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). At this point I don't really thing that will be beneficial as she will be 18 in Feb and sign herself out. What happens in my county is, the child will be remanded into a lock up detention center while dss finds an appropriate facility, which usually takes about 4 months. So if my daughter was to be remanded from court by the time she gets to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) it will be around Dec, she turns 18 2 months later. What is the point? Not to mention she has already been in 3 Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s with minimal, if any, results. I really think it's a moot point now. She really needs an intensive DBT program.
