[QUOTE="klmno, post: 492067, member: 3699"] This is the briefest way I know how to explain that question, DDD: What I asked for and what PO said this GH was: short term placement, after 1 mo (assuming difficult child does well) there would be day visits with me then as he moved up, we'd move to more time at home because reunification would be the goal; family therapy What reentry lady says and is consistent with fed funding requiremeents for long term placement: Required min stay, goal to get difficult child out on his own, after 30 days he gets a day pass to go with their group to an organized and supervised event (has nothing to do with family get together), parents are allowed to visit and have contact with kid after 30 days at the group home- no contact prior to then; anger management 'course', required family meetings (they have no licensed MH prof on staff); since the reentry lady is the asst director of the GH I believe she is the one giving the accurate description - I think PO was giving me lip service to get me to buy into it by telling me this was what I asked for ETA: As I've said before, there are NO choices for me re difficult child's 'treatment' plan- the PO (and reentry lady) make all those decisions. And as a reminder, they formed this much of a plan before even looking thru his file). My son has a hx of self-harming and self-sabatoging behavior, too, and that is most definitely still a fear- but that fear is more if he goes to GH because I don't think they'll even notice. [/QUOTE]
