My heart goes out to you. Do ask the social worker if there any other resources in the community you might be able to take advantage of.

I think inpatient treatment would be overkill and he would never get it here in the UK under our National Health Service.
I am planning to do some basic construction work in our house on the weekend and he might join me in that. I have also decided to devote a few minutes a day just to talk to him, so he knows he is not being rejected.
I will ask the social worker this evening.

Yes this is true and herein lies the conflict. I work full-time as a software developer. I work part-time as an associate lecturer (adjunct instructor) in computer science. And I run a group that goes on walks. Plus I have to deal with my family....
