[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 709054, member: 18958"] Echo. I checked the website. Do I understand correctly, that the Back on My Feet Organization does not itself run programs for the homeless in terms of housing or recovery? That what it offers is the support through initially the structure and support of the running and then, if they show up, they will work with the person to draw up an individualized program towards specific goals and support them with this? It is not in my small City but it is in California, SF and LA, I think. I may contact them. What are your thoughts about the program per se, beyond the running part? I am very sad about my son. He is not getting it. He keeps thinking the changing comes in larger part through us. I am not saying he has not changed. But my help is reinforcing bad habits rather than motivating him to change for the better. The hope that by offering an incentive, a leg up, is trumped by his grabbing the cheese and escaping, resisting what he sees as the trap. Accountability and self-responsibility are the traps. It is all very, very slow and very, very laborious. and very, very discouraging. Nothing "works" when you are dealing with another adult. Except he "works" me. [/QUOTE]
