Behavioral Health Partnership gets children 'unstuck' from in-patient psychiatric care | The Connecticut Mirror: "The support group Amber Robinson leads is supposed to run from 6 to 7:30 p.m., but it often lasts hours beyond that.

'Parents are talking,' she said. 'They got a lot of stuff to say, to get out. They just want to talk and talk.'
Like the parents in her group, Robinson knows the frustrations of trying to find services for a child with mental health needs in a system that is often overwhelmed and unresponsive. Her 8-year-old son, Dante, has been hospitalized multiple times since he was 4. His intermittent explosive disorder causes tantrums so severe that at times he must be restrained, and since last year, he has lived in a residential treatment center."
