Issues with support
Hi
I am having issues with my support staff. They make me really nervous because they barely talk to me which makes me hide in my room when they're here sometimes, and their manager messaged me to say I can't hide in my room when they're cleaning because they're meant to be teaching me independence skills and doing things with me not for me.
But I can't cope with some of the workers, who I told the manager not to send, multiple times but I still get this guy weekly sometimes multiple times a week. And sometimes I refuse to let him in because I can't cope and they blame that on me not on the support system.
It's really rough and my social worker said I can find a new agency but it's so overwhelming having to go through a list of over 100 LA approved care agencies. I called a single agency who I recognised the name of, but I didn't hear back which really upset me.
My advocate or family might be able to help me find a new agency but I find it really hard to ask for help, especially when the help that exists is awful and complains about issues arising from inappropriate support. And it makes me want to cancel all support because it triggers more than it helps.
