Hi, Damiana! Thanks for asking!

here's a great resource that has a TON of links in it. One of them is «business in a box», which is from Nicole Broadhurst's program. I understand that package is free; she has other resources that are part of a paid service.

What a GREAT quote and an important conversation!

This is SUCH an important conversation. Thank you so much for bringing it here.

Mari- thanks so much for responding to me. I've passed your information on to the family.

Thank you so much. I'll put you in touch with Denise, who has been working with him. SOO appreciate your time, thank you.

Hi, Victoria! Unfortunately, I don't have a ton more details than what is above. I did provide them your name/profile already from my original search. These are the latest questions they've added:

Is the advocate prepared to lead a coordinated, multi-state search process (including building and narrowing a shortlist of residential options), or would they work more as a care coordinator / navigator alongside other resources?
Is the advocate typically involved in the placement process itself, including outreach and coordination with facilities?
Does the advocate have experience with cases that are primarily psychiatric in nature, where the individual is functionally independent?
Would the advocate typically handle benefits navigation (e.g., Medicaid), or work in parallel with other specialists?

If you would like to provide me a brief response to those questions, I can send it along to them to expand on the info I already provided for you.

Thanks for responding!

Thank you for asking such an important, complex question!

Gentle reminder — posts in the general areas of the community are visible aka «public» (if you think in FB terms) — so you may want to ask her to DM you for contact info, or use your GNA number.

Only posts in the «advocate referral needed» spaces are fully private and require GNA profile approval to even be READ.

Thank you so much for adding on some specific, helpful information.

Melina, thank you SO much for taking the time to respond with such incredible detail.

Thank you for such an incredibly indepth, detailed response. Your thoughtfulness, your time, your support are so appreciated.
