[QUOTE="buddy, post: 490618, member: 12886"] Hi. Your son sounds amazing. I often wonder, how tired would I get every single day having to analyze all I do and say... my son has to live like that (different reasons) and it sure sounds like you son has to too. Have you checked NAMI? There is a lot of support and they are able to make referrals. [url=http://www.nami.org/]NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness - Mental Health Support, Education and Advocacy[/url] As TeDo said, in our area social services has mental health services and it is not all connected to insurance nor income. For sure case management is not. They would rather you had your own insurance so they dont have to pay! But I know it varies in different places. My son is on MA and we dont get anything denied but it all depends on what, where, etc. so you have to weigh those options. Another option is Department of Voc. Rehab. they have training, support, counseling, etc... and thru that he can be connected with other folks. All while working toward education and whatever level of employment they can obtain. Sometimes that is just supported work environments. Other times it is school and an independent career. Welcome, I am so happy to meet you and learn about your son. I admire his being willing to check things out and to try so hard. I can't imagine much worse than that, and I am living with a brain injured child! Check in frequently, it will be great to chat with you. [/QUOTE]
