[quote=Anonymous]I think asking him to take 2-3 community college classes is a good place to start. It’s a light course load and is moving him in the direction of his goal without being overwhelming. I don’t think it’s too late for community college enrollment but maybe do some research on his behalf so he has one less obstacle. Right now, the goal is progress - one step in front of the other. Even small steps move him in the right direction. Doing nothing is moving him backward. It’s good you’ve made sure he’s receiving therapy and meds. If he can’t register for classes for some reason, a part-time job is worth pursuing as it will offer some structure and confidence (even if he balks at first). DD’s close friend from HS dropped out freshman year and then lived at home and worked at an ice cream shop while she did therapy for depression. It was a slow process but at 22, she went back to school at a community college and did really well. She is on track to transfer to a 4 year college. She will finish college later than her friends but that’s ok. It’s not a race. [/quote]
