I agree, but this is an internal line for us to be better informed for our clients.  Empower them to do more yes, give them the keys to everyone, no.  Would you give a personal cell number out for your client to call when they need to call you?  I do not think many of us would break that boundary, and this is what I think this to be, a boundary we should not let our clients pass.

If not them...Who? Don't we as providers want to empower individual "clients" to advocate and access services for themselves?

Should we really be allowing individual "clients" access to the listserv or utilizing the listserv as providers on their behalf?

Good evening,

 

My father, Luke Upton, told me to reach out to you and that maybe you could help. I have recently left an abusive relationship, and I have a minor child (13 year old son). I have been with a roommate for a few months, but that ends at the end pf November. I will be homeless at the end of the month if housing is not found. I honestly can't afford a deposit of full rent at the moment. I just started a new job and am not established as of yet. 

 

Please advise on what to do next. 

 

Thank you for you time.

 

Amber Upton
