helloooooow ya all,
this topic is a bit wining perhaps, so if ya dont like it, go eat icecream.
or better eat icecream while reading it. then youre sure you will shit properly.
I am a social worker. I am mentor of one client. She has a big mental disability, emotional she functions like a child of 8 months. She hits herself all her life, from 4 months old. She can be very aggresive. I know it where two entities who lived in her body. They left her. Her brain still has that strong selfdestructive connection, cause she did it for so long. I think other energies are flying in and out her now the two aggresive boys are gone.
She goes to a daycare centre, thats my place where I work. Everyday she goes in a bus, with a social worker by her side. In that bus are 6 other clients who can be epeleptic, aggresive, or just needs someone in their neighbourhood.
She is most of the time aggresive in the bus. She can pull ya hair, hit ya in the face. It's very sudden, its not a thing you can feel coming, or cant expect it by looking at her behavouir.
1 month and a half ago, I decided with my collegeaus, the situation in the bus isnt responsible anymore. This was after she came the fisrt days to wrok, after she had been for a week in bed, with a wristbelts on, cause she escalated big at her house. The specialist said it wa sto give her rest. It meant also that she had no selfcontrol anymore. She wears dipers in bed, but she can very well go to the toilet by herself, as long as you are with her. She lives in an institution. At the dacare centre she was aggresive too, but much much less than at her home.
So in a meeting where the psychologist, my collegeau who is responsible for the quality of the care we give her, the boss of her home, her mentor form home, the specialist from the goverment they decided she had to get daycare at the same big place as where she lives. Many houses and daycare places are there.
My responsible collegeau said it was really urgent, so he called and wrote and actually in few weeks a place was found.
To make a long story short, social workers from where she lives where on vacation. Some one else didnt dare to decide if she could go there to her new place. The only thing that they had to decide was if my client could be in a group with a other client that lives at her home.
The vision from the organisation I work with says that daycare is responsible for daycare, and 'living' and 'daycare' are two different parts of someone lives, and has to be seperated.
'Its a pity the other person at her home would be in the same daycare group but alla it can be done', the social workers at living said.
My big boss has put a deadline: he said: this monday I really cant take any responsibility anymore for this bussituation. The people at 'living' have to come up with a solution. We have a solution, you are slowing the process down.
Yesterday I took a day off, since long. And yes a lot of things happenend.
The people at 'living' decided she has to go in the bus with wristbelts on. It's attached to a belt she is wearing, there are chains on it, and at the end of the chains wristbelts are connected. The wristbelts has to be closed with a key.
The psychologist has to agree for this. Monday mornin there wasn't a agree from the psychologist, later that day it came. She has to put a protocol on, she didnt do that. My boss says he doubts if this isnt illegal. He talked about it with his boss, and emailed the psychologist.
Well now my emotions:
I feel like this sucks big time, and cant be done! I know she feels safe with the belts on, but that isnt the way I think people should be treated. I hate to do things what perhaps is illegal, and didnt had to tak eplace.
I dont wanna be the one who gives space to these stupid structures.
Can I do this to myself? Can I do something that goes into my feelings so deep?
My boss says, after I said to him that I think he asked a lot of his personal, that its my proffesion to do this.
I doubt. Where is the proffesion in this story. If I make up to do something to give her less freedom I can do that? And noone tells me how I should do that except says: yes you may? Yes you may put Jane in a locked room. How you do it? Well do something...
Its a rule in my work everything has to be written out, about how you do that, so you can show everyone why and how you did things.
I feel like my borders are walked over here!
This dont feel good. and sucks big time.
I will sleep a night over it,
and then
put a bomb at my work.
Love Elleke
Love is all there was, is and ever will be
