Research Question 1

What else can you think of that might support someone in recovery?

Emergency intensive crisis response services for severe behavioral disabilities for children under 13 with persistent troubled behaviors not helped by existing resources. Ongoing intensive care for kids under 13 is a missing resource. WISe is not enough and CLIP cannot keep kids past a certain time even when severe violent behaviors continue. 911 legally will not come and hospitals won't admit when this is baseline behavior. My son and I, our lives ARE in danger and there's NO resources for this kind of severity.

What else can you think of that might support someone in recovery?

Need a resource that can respond when my 11 is dangerous, violent and in crisis. 911 will not come because they are banned from restraining him and the hospital won't accept him as this is his baseline behavior and they are intended for temporary conditions.

What else can you think of that might support someone in recovery?

Support without pressure* Let them know you see their effort and believe in them, even when things get tough. Don’t push them to “get better” quickly. Recovery takes time, and what matters most is that they keep going. Just saying “You’ve come a long way, and I’m proud of you” can mean everything.

Failing families who need intensive services for kids under the age of 13 with severe ongoing mental/behavioral/emotional/developmental issues who have no real resources to cope with ongoing violent crisis. The existing pathways are not set up for this kind of baseline behavior.

What do you feel is not working in the overall System of Care?

There is insufficent resources for severe mental health/behavioral disorders for children under the age of 13. Need crisis response team and ongoing care just for us to be safe at home. Police will not come, Children's Hopsital will not admit when it's his baseline and his time at CLIP is ending. We have no further resources whatsoever and he is returning home regardless. Without the right help this is profoundly dangerous and frightning. Total lack of resources for remote areas such as Gold Bar which has only one WISe team in Monroe that causes more harm than good. WISe teams need better training and accountability for how they treat families instead of the deal with it we're your only possible team/resource attitude they currently have.

I think that it's difficult for people to find a place where they feel comfortable enough to receive services. Intake processes are confusing for many agencies post pandemic, wait times are long, and there are not enough providers.

When we are able to receive services with folks that understand the experience of being brown, black, or indigenous it is more effective, but there are few providers that fit this need.

Not enough providers. Some providers are under-trained, particularly about symptoms related to lack of insight and topics related to cultural relevance. Family engagement is almost never a priority for a provider's time. Systems don't work together very often. Families have to know jargon and code words to get a doorway open even just a crack.

Accessibility and timeliness are significant barriers.

The organizations providing behavioral health services that are non profits make it extremely difficult to access the services (ex: needing to attend sign up during work hours only), and, I assume because they are soo over capacity, once you’ve done a certain amount of sessions they boot you out.

Otherwise they will continue down to struggle.

One big problem in the care system is how hard it is to get help quickly. Long wait times, high costs, and not enough providers make things worse, especially in some areas. Services don’t always work well together, so people get confused. Stigma also stops many from asking for help. And sometimes, care feels too general, not personal. All of this makes recovery more difficult than it should be.

Better coordination would help ensure I'm getting consistent and effective care for my needs personally and reduce some of the stress of managing everything myself.

There’s also still stigma around seeking help, especially in some communities, which stops people from reaching out early.
