Went to an interesting TLC mediation last night.  Clients included Y/P, grandmother and partner and also Y/P mum.

Grandmother spoke first to outline the issues.  Y/P had been living with her for about 1 month since mother had thrown Y/P out because of an assault.  Y/P has had previous mental health issues.  Hd been badly bullied at school and spent one year having in-house mental health treatment.  Was now on mediacation for depression since her move.  The Y/P mental health issues had previously been well managed and monitored but since moving there has been no support in this area.

Y/P was contantly interrupting when other people were having their say.  This was challenged.  I believe the Y/P felt that she was being blamed for what had happened.  There was clearly alot of anger.  Meidatirs were also told that Y/P was drinking alcohol whilst taking prescription drugs despite being asked not to do so. 

Mum's body language suggested she was at the end of her tether despite wanting to help and loving her child.  Y/P interrupted Mum all the time and found it difficult to let her speak.  Y/P is now in bed and breakfast as a result of an attack the week before.  However Y/P does not feel comfortable with that situation and would like to be at home.
