I have come to realize that my brother is mentally ill, unbalanced or unstable. I will not go into the details. He does not read books. He has no spiritual interests. He lives next to a church, the pastor there occasionally talks to him. My parents, and he himself, have little money. They have no connections or resources. I made it clear to them that it was made clear to me that I can't help my brother. I have to keep my hands off this. This is between him, them and the universe. I laid everything out to them with as little bias, criticism or judgment as possible. I did not feel checked against hunting down information for them. So that is what this thread is about. If you had a loved one who was a danger to themselves, who does not read books, who would not take medicine if prescribed, but it is crystal clear that they needed help, and you had no money, what would you do? Here in America, is there any outreach program or anything that could hook my brother up with what he needs to deal with his anger and depression before he hurts himself or someone else? Something trustworthy and available to people who could not pay for it? If you have any advice or suggestions please post them. If you feel compelled to pray for my brother or send energy to heal him or anything like that please do so. I will collect any information gathered here and relay it to my parents. Thank you.
