Help!

[Duchess1]

SW friends or anyone in the know,we need help for LMC ASAP!

I cannot find a residential school or treatment center for her age group. We may need to go out of state. I cannot take another day of this. My wife is ready to leave. It's bad. Really awful bad.

I will take any lead,suggestion or hug you have.

VIP may be able to help and if not they should be able to refer you to the correct place.

I called Hillsides in Pasadena, they take little ones into their residential program (I couldn't remember how old LMC is, I asked for as young as 4), the intake contact is Renee Walker at 323-254-2274.

I am not in the know about these things, but I am sending big huge hugs your way. I hope you are able to find a solution soon. Keeping you in my thoughts...

I'm a SWer, but know nothing about your area. My guess that you will need to go through the school system if you want them to pay for it.

I am so sorry that it is so bad.

I know I mentioned it to you once before, but did you ever contact the Jani foundation?

Her parents are likely to be a wealthy of knowledge about child mental health services in Southern California.

Have you called UCLA's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department?

She's too young for this center but they might have referrals:

You might also want to contact your local NAMI group; they might have suggestions/recs. www.NAMI.org is where I'd start.

I'm sorry it's so hard right now. ((hugs))

Thank you all for your leads,suggestions and hugs. I have made a list and am just going to call and email everyone on Earth until we get more help.

I don't think she can function at home anymore,she never could, but I sort of pushed her along. I can't anymore. I'm tired.
