Behaviour Intervention Services Part 2

Spoke with Sues worker Maria and told her all about my dealing with DADHC and their stupid comments. She said DADHC had not told her they wanted to “wash their hands of Sue." and She told me that they can't do that to her as Sue is a disability client they are obligated to offer her services.

She said there role with Sue was to assist service providers access appropriate organisations. That they have no funding to provide Sue with services they can only recommend services.

She said she was horrified at the attitudes of Sues workers and what they had said to me about "goal being safe."

She said she agreed with me that DADHC appears to be acting like they have no motive to find Sue housing, that they are not proactive in helping Sue or offering her appropriate assistance.


I'm not sure what this orginisation can do for Sue but at least the Behaviour Intervention Services knows what the attitude of Sue's DADHC workers now.
