NH social worker here! To add to all the accurate things you said…when the hospital gets tired of these psych patients taking up space, they are suddenly at baseline and discharged. Then they call BEAS and it expect it will be dealt with that way. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Same with DCYF. And then the child goes back to school or foster care, hurts someoneand it's DCYF's fault. They very conveniently get better as soon as the hospital gets full.
