Wow, 200 clients is a large caseload. I wonder why they won't expand their services. Obviously they are in demand.

How often can or do you see her?

My mental health care was terrible until I discovered the local community health centre. This is where I see my psychiatrist and my family doctor. The care is good and respectful. It is so much better than the hospital outpatient clinic I used to go to. They were not much help at all and were usually disrespectful. Recovery was not promoted at all. Most of the community agencies they referred to were homeless shelters and drop-in centres, which were very inappropriate for me.

Finding the right services is hard. I did manage to find one really good agency on my own that is for autistic adults. I wanted contact with people similar to me. They have a great support group for women.
