What are the older children ages 17,18 and 19 supposed to do. When there mental health has deteriorated or in my daughter case of Schizophrina it dosent fully devolop until the age of 21 or 22. Mental Health Support was there to try to help my daughter in the community as her diease progressed. She trust very few people and her Mental Health Support person is great with her. Her last day of services is the 17th of this month because of this change. Because she is 17 and a junior in high school not preparing to be on her own and chances are it may be many years before she COULD be on her own. Do the people making these changes not understand the severity of some of these disorders? I'm afraid that not just for my daughter but for all the clients affected by these changes that there are going to be DRASTIC negative results. I'm sure that for some their mental health support person is the only person they had. The results that come from this will be on your hands.
