I just wanted to thank you all again for being so supportive!
I have also received some PMs with great ideas on where to turn to find MH programs and Residential Treatment Center (RTC)...
Unfortunately, it is not a matter anymore of "finding" programs. I have talked to everyone I can think to talk to. I have contacted pastors, teachers, guidance counselors, family support groups, NAMI, Department of Juvenile Justice officers, the family court, city police, county police, state police, three different hospital systems, the state university, dss, cps, I even had a woman from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children making calls and pulling strings on my family's behalf.
And from all of these people - who want very much to be able to help - the phrase I have heard over and over and over again is "used to"...
As in:
"We used to do that."
"We used to offer that"
"There used to be a program..."
"There used to be a group..."
"So-and-so used to do..."
"Such-and-such used to have..."
"There used to be a place..."
But it all really means the same thing:
There USED TO BE FUNDING.
