I was told today that the agency had lost a lot of government grant money and that they were letting a lot of mental health patients go from that agency. I was also told that "community support" people were losing their jobs and the ones that were there did not know how long they would continue to be employed.
It would depend what's going on. If one agency closed that would be one thing but if a whole group of agencies were defunded because of a reduction in government grants towards mental health services that would be another. Either way you might want to speak to your local NAMI chapter or the IL centers as I have mentioned as any reduction in mental health services is a loss for many people and if its due to a reduction in funding either or both group should advocate to have it reinstated. Inform them and ask what is going on.
By the way, I am Bi-polar, BPD, have panic attacks, PTSD,,.
