[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 523783, member: 11001"] So sorry TeDo. Unfortunately, our system is not responsive or understanding of mental illness or neurologic issues. I guess we have to scare our kids enough that they don't do anything to get into the system. As adults this will also happen to them. And medication issues don't even count it seems like. Basically they have criminalized our kids with problems (and as parents we have had to to get services). So much money and time would be saved and even long term outcomes would be better if they paid for services, crisis teams, respite, etc. We have a mental health court here-we tried to get in but couldn't as the waiting list was soooo long and difficult child was a runner. In this court, everyone is trained in these issues and they support kids weekly at school and home. They reward them for successes and have many other services. Parents are very involved. When a program has a waiting list, it seems to me they need to look at why and add more. Do you have access to such a thing? Just wondering if it would be good to know just in case for the future?
