Aside from needing to identify a good neighborhood and school for my 3 and 5 yr olds, I really need to know about any supportive services for people diagnosed with Bipolar/Schizophrenia.
Can anyone help?
Thank You!

Contact the Alabama Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation office in Huntsville. Bring in a letter from a physician indicating your mother's diagnosis. You will be assigned a case worker who will make you aware of the facilities and programs that are available in your area.
Huntsville Hospital is one of the best in the Southeastern U.S.. I would also find a psychiatrist who specializes in geriatrics that is affilated with HH. He/she will also be able to help you.
I live in Birmingham and have an autistic child. You will need to get help on neighborhoods RE: good schools from our North Alabama members here and there are many fine ones indeed.
