[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 675567, member: 18958"] My son was never hospitalized before he was 18, only after. I was never contacted. I am not sure how they deal with parents, especially when there is a custodial and non-custodial parent. I would think that if both of you have legal custody you are entitled to be involved both of you to the same extent. The higher ups I think are off enjoying Christmas, and there is a holiday schedule and protocol. I would guess that until Monday next, the regular routine will be suspended where he is. If it were me, I would call on Monday. I would ask to speak to his case manager. I would tell her that you want to be involved, and kept apprised. I would ask what kinds of collateral involvement is available, such as groups, or any other thing. I would ask her or him to spell out the policy for parents' involvement. I would tell them that you see this as an opportunity for you to change in such a way to support your son's emancipation and health. I would tell them that you want to begin exploring community resources that would be the next steps for your son. Even next week they may be operating on a streamlined program, only to resume a full program after New Years. But that does not mean you should not call. To make yourself a part of the treatment and to request full communication. COPA [/QUOTE]
