The issues that face adolescents and adults with mental health difficulties are widely varied and different from one another and therefore will typically require totally different treatment plans and therapy styles. This is not even mentioning the harm that could come to so many of these children if they are ever to be left unsupervised with the adults. It does not take a brain surgeon to see that this could be a very bad situation all the way around. I know that funding is limited but there must be something that could be done to get these adults and children treatment facilities of their own.
