[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 755749, member: 22840"] Denise, I'm so sorry to read about your's and your daughters situation. If she's still living close to NJ, with this NJ status, you could try calling Bridgeway ~ [URL]https://www.bridgewayrehab.org/contact.html#[/URL] . I think they are affiliated with NAMI. Under services it lists programs by county, they do overlap to the extent that someone in one county can be supported in a different county depending on their need. I don't know if they are affiliated with any organizations in NY, but it's worth a try to tell them about your daughters situation and ask. Most importantly if you can get her to the point where she gets a case worker the case worker can help guide her. There's not much you can do but they do know how to work with mentally ill people to help them. She, of course, has to be willing. This is true, in NJ anyway, actually it's a bit more involved with the courts because she wouldn't actually be a tenant, as in paying rent. It's a similar process though. In my town people are told, by the police, they have to go through an eviction process to have someone removed from their home after they have been there for 24 hours, tenant or not. All of the above is pretty rough, but add to it that you have a potentially violent daughter and it seems her removal from your house would most likely end up as an emergency restraining order. Not something any parent would want to do. Your not allowing her in your house seems like the best for both you and her. My experience and understanding of these clinics is they are really good for people who have been in the hospital for a continuance of care afterward. But if someone just tries to make an appointment they will be given an appointment months out. I really wish she would check herself in because if she did she would get help with medication and wrap around services. Hopefully the right medication, that's a crap shoot still these days. Wish I could give you better advice, news, as it were but it all depends on her, if she is willing to do what she needs to do for herself. The good news is there really are resources out there for people who want them. [/QUOTE]
