[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 593701"] Thank you for responding. GAL are people who should be invited to these meetings. I bet they will have some very good input. An anonymous complaint/ suggestion system would be good. The big brother/sister program is here but very weak. Maybe there are things we could do to support that program more. The focus with both cps and juvenile justice is prevention. We're trying to get them to service people before things escalate and kids are taken into custody. They have programs that could be beneficial to others but the problem will be some of the attitudes toward mentally ill people the long term staff has. (Old dinosaurs ) Of course, if they don't co-operate there is always the possibility the program (and the funding for it) could be shunted sideways into a more user friendly program. Community outreach programs for families under stress is a great idea. As is family therapist for cps families. I could see that one getting politically messy though. Tdocs are supposed to be safe. having to go to one because the program that is trying to take your kids away says you have to, and then they could take anything you say to the therapist and use it for or against you just doesn't sound like it would be a good therapist experience. Voluntary computer network with medications and practical advice for police. I will pass these very good ideas along. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
