needs help with life

I live in Upper Michigan, my son has Bipolar II, Paranoid Schizophrenic Disorder, and Personality Disorder. He has been in and out of hospitals for the last 5 yrs. This time he is in State operated institute hospital. I talked to a case worker about a service dog for him, she said it sounded good. I don"t know what to do. I just want him home and happy. Does anyone know any foundations or anything? He has 2 more months left in the institute. All I do is cry. Thank you, good luck to all.

If they can't help you, they may be able to give you information as to whom to contact.

Good luck

I don't know of any foundations, but I think your idea is a really good one.  My nephew is also Bipolar and Schizophrenic, and is now in a rehab for substance abuse, so I know what your going through,  It is so extremely hard.  Not only would a dog help him, but I also think it would give you a lot of comfort when you really need it.  Good Luck to you and your son.
