Table 5.
Angela | But they will give him medication, and I don't want that. I don't want my child to be medicated and for him to change |
Ana | Angela, they are not going to start giving him medication the moment you get there. No, they are going to see and speak with him |
Angela | Well that's what people say, you know |
Ana | Yes, people say a lot of things, but Angel was not given medication, they just gave him therapy, and with that he became better. If the child could be medicated, they are of course going to speak with you first, not just give it to him. Angel is in middle school and doing well. It is a long process that takes time, but it has been good |
Note. The peer continues to encourage her friend to seek services.
