Hi,
First timer here. Having horrid experience with the release of my son from gaol and leaving there with nowhere to go. No one verified that he actually had somewhere to go, so now very unwell on the streets again.
He has schizoaffective disorder.
His illness, after just a week, has hit critical point. Anyone else been through this?

Hi @Lee5 and welcome to the forums
It's shocking to hear that your son has been released with no support or housing in place. I can't imagine how worrying it must be to see him in this position. While I have not been through this myself, I did want to reach out and suggest taking a look at AskIzzy to see if any of the services listed on there could be any help to your son.
I hope that your son receives some care soon, and that you're able to keep on reaching out here as you need it
