[QUOTE="pajamas, post: 495727, member: 13499"] New here, too (I'll post our story sometime soon), but we're starting to see a glimmer of hope now that our excellent psychiatrist connected us to a community mental health agency that specifically treats attachment disordered kids and others that are severely damaged (e.g., kids involved in sexual trafficking). They are providing wraparound services and money didn't come up until we mentioned it - they are working through the Medicaid issues for us. Finding a more astute therapist (and a psychiatrist, too) is key. A possible place to start is your local chapter of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness - [URL="http://www.nami.org"]www.nami.org[/URL]). They are an advocacy group, with local chapters and support groups for family members of individuals with psychiatric/behavioral issues. Look on their web site and you may see a phone number for someone you can call in your town or nearby for advice on where to start. PJ [/QUOTE]
