Hello again,
On their application form it said something like “we are not mental health professionals and if you have a diagnosed mental illness we do not recommend this course.” I asked my sister about this and she ensured me that this didn’t apply to me and it was for people with severe mental illness like schizophrenia (even though I’m diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, ADHD and PTSD, which I would consider pretty serious!). My sister has never validated my mental health issues. Anyways I decided to be honest with the place and they said if I wanted to come I had to get my therapist to sign off on it. Not surprisingly my therapist said no way because they are not professionals. So, I went to a homeless shelter and convinced a therapist there I saw ONCE to sign the form. As you can see it’s very easy to bypass these walls. I even said during the course I was suicidal and the trainer did say I should go home but nobody actually removed me and stopped me from continuing with the program or any professional check on me etc. I was allowed to continue completely unchecked.
