[quote=Anonymous]Have a 25 year old DC. They are intelligent, compassionate and academically brilliant (have been identified as gifted in school and graduated college with presidential scholarship).

They had a series of mental health issues for last two years. They have finished college (with social sciences double major) successfully in 2020 with pretty respectful GPA. They have not held stable jobs since graduation. During one of the mental health episodes, police was called for wellness check. Police was upset with DC's actions during a mental health breakdown and filed a case against DC. The case resulted in a PBJ outcome and a criminal misdemeanor record for DC.

They have been stable mental health wise (staying on medication, therapy etc) and looking for a job. But no one is giving them a chance. They have been truthful in disclosing the records and past mental health challenges with employers. Two employers offered job enthusiastically based on DC's interviews and rescinded later. Where is help when someone with mental health issues wants to move on and live a respectful life? DC is heartbroken and I am very frustrated.  Please suggest if you know something can help.[/quote]
