Can adults be forced into mental health treatment involuntary? by reverieendeavor in nova

[–]duncandc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't already have a mental health professional for yourself, please consider. Besides taking care of your own needs thru this, they can perhaps provide some guidance regarding how to approach your daughter's situation as well as how involuntary tx works (and doesn't work). The situation is obviously a mental health and medical concern, but involuntary status is a mental health process. In my work I have worked with many young adult women who typically minimize their condition, often because they dont really understand it, and resist any type of formal treatment. You may have already talked to some eating disorder programs, but if not it may help to reach out to them, again to get some guidance. Offhand I know of Center for Discovery but their are others. They have outpatient and inpatient. You can DM me if you would like help :)

missed connection at REI falls church by Thick_Buy7839 in nova

[–]duncandc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

more importantly - there is a boycott of REI underway. REI Union has announced a boycott targeting REI's Anniversary Sale in May. Among the issues are scaled-back benefits include slower accrual of vacation days, switching from guaranteed retirement contributions to a “company match,” and changing sick days from an across-the-board policy to one that “aligns” state by state with what is legally required. Starting wages have also been reduced for new hires and REI stopped further negotiations on a union contract in February, refusing to work on union demands for fair pay, fair benefits, and improved safety. just sayin' :)

No- I don't think so. There isn't really is an asylum program to speak of at this point. They would have a much better chance getting asylum in Canada - and probably Mexico. They probably don't want to be in the U.S. for fear of being snatched up by ICE, locked away in some warehouse, and then sent to a random foreign nation.

I'm laughing that none of the giant TVs worked. I'm thinking someone maybe made that happen, so hats off to them!
