I don’t know anybody else in my area who feels the same way or “sees” the possibilities. And yet I remain very gung-ho (that’s unfortunately common among current/former OCPD’ers  ) about the idea.
Would you have any interest and time to devote to developing some ideas for a pilot program or proposal? I know that’s probably a lot to ask and if you don’t, that’s OK. The way I see it – if the professionals don’t recognize or can’t respond to the need for this kind of thing, then it’s up to the “grass roots”, but in this case the people at the grass roots have PD’s and, well, we’re not so great at social action!
If you are interested, I’d still really like to continue to see if we can’t attract some others – maybe we can repost this to other subforums or something? Or PM me if you’d like. There’s a good psychiatric hospital near here that – if we came up with something – might be willing to try it or maybe even help. But I don’t have either the confidence – or the knowledge about anything other than maybe OCPD – to do it all on my own.
