Good Morning Ellen: I hope all is well with you and the Bronx Prevention programs. I left a message for you on 7/14/17 regarding a possible linkage between Good Shepherd’s Prevention programs and St. Dominic’s Non-Medicaid Care Coordination program. The Care Coordination program works with children with Severe Emotional Behaviors who do not qualify for Health Homes. The idea for the linkage was to provide St. Dominic’s community support for children who are ready for discharge, but would need additional support. It has come to my attention that St. Dominic’s has a Prevention program, and it is the Department of Health’s expectation that they refer the children from the Care Coordination to their own Prevention program first.
This is for documentation as to reason why my daughter Cadence Lookabill has had so many unexcused absenses.

If she had strep throat or any other illness I did. Cadence was given notes for the dates in question, she did not get the notes to the appropriate person and after she failed to give them those notes she threw them away.

The parents also tested positive to illicit substance use. Both Lindy and Ben clearly abused their daughters by ignoring their needs, putting them in an unsupervised and dangerous situation. This questions their parenting capacity. According to Bromfield, Lamont, Parker and Horsfall (2010), child abuse and neglect are most likely to arise from the interaction of risk factors including alcohol and illicit substance abuse.

This issue resonates with me because of the experience I have with OCD in my family. My 16-year-old sister has always been anxious, but I knew something was wrong when she texted me one day at school saying she couldn’t walk. Upon finding her, I learned that the tiles on the floors made her feel like she was drowning. Overtime, she could no longer walk into the school. Watching her try to navigate the floors with her shaky legs and teary eyes hurt my heart.
