Frustrated at the lack of mental health support in the area.
I won’t lie I’m sitting in the hospital typing this. I’ve been admitted to different hospitals and units a total of almost 20 times in my 21 years on this earth. It’s genuinely at the point where I’m just told there isn’t much available that I haven’t already done. Which I’m willing to try things again, however I need long term support more than anything. While yes assisted living/group homes would be a great option OW denies my applications and ODSP straight up ignores my applications. So that’s not an option because I have no income. I’ve also recently tried getting an act team but they never contacted me so I’m assuming that referral was denied. I’m just at a loss at this point like I don’t know what to do.
The reason I’m making this post is just wondering if anyone knows of anything available (program-wise) that could help. Im also all ears for any advice anyone has.
I’m sorry if this is an unorthodox place to make this post but I need to know if some local peeps know of anything
I also want to clarify I don’t want money or anything of financial value. Just advice from people in the know about mental health programs in the area.
