So.... What exactly do you DO? I see you didn't include any information about being a doctor, intern, student, etc. What is your job title, if you don't mind me asking?

Check the DSM 5 that has recently been released, as some of the terminology is different and generally the diagnoses are more inclusive.

You are literally the best. I work in chemical dependency counseling at a therapeutic community in Texas. We DONT have people like you in our facility.

We have the MHMR case worker, we have the LCDC, we have the therapist, but we have no one to assist them (client) in the transitions from prison (or a psych hospital) to a TC to the "real/free world" .... They just walk around treatment either like Charlie Brown because they don't know where they're going or how to get a job or how to move forward, OR they walk around looking like a fucking crazed lunatic stressing about the same things. We don't have the resources to help these guys once they complete treatment, we don't have the funds to do job training, and the only life skills they learn is how to cook food for 40 men at once.

You're the best. You are needed. You are appreciated.

Apologize if my question came off sassy.
