Hope is on the way...

Work has been a little crazy for me these last couple of weeks. First of all, my 14-year-old client managed to get himself in jail. He was at home and got into an arguement with his sisters. He became so angry that he hit one of them in the arm with a candlestick. His sister thought that she was a threat to her niece that she called the cops. In the process of the cops getting there, they managed to destroy the whole front living room. This includes a nice plasma television. My client was the only one that was hauled off. Since he was already on probation and recently just got out of BHC they decided to put him in jail.

While he was in BHC he had a change to his medication. They think part of the problem was that he missed a dose and that is what made him fly off the handle.

The reason why I feel so relieved is that he was just recently released. My job is to work with him and make sure that he doesn't go back. Wish me luck!!! I have a lot of hope for this kid. I know he has a lot of potential as well. I wish I could do more but my hands are tied.

While this kid was in jail, my work decided to give me a new client. I don't want to give too much details just in case someone might know this person. With details, it wouldn't be hard to identify them. Let's say that I feel really overwhelmed. This person has so many problems that I don't even know where to start. Right now, this person is fighting a DUI and a felony. I helped her with paperwork so far since she doesn't know how to read or write. After the paperwork, I'm not sure on what I'm supposed to do. I've never even been close to the same situation. The funny thing is; I asked my supervisors on advice on how to handle this person and they were all dumbfounded. At least I'm not the only one. The problem is that I'm working with this person and they're not. We'll see what happens. Maybe I won't have the client by the end of the month due to being in prison.
