Nice interview. I do a lot of fundraising for St. James Infirmary (from Margo St. James) and my friend who is a nurse, volunteers time there. I totally understand her work and feel we could hang out as I have done a ton of community mental health management with young adult / teen orgs. It's interesting about the lack of seeing DID, though. There's quite a lot in youth trafficking from what I have seen. But it's not witnessed. It get's seen as something else. I think that's, in part, due to youth being so chaotic and they are not able to articulate their symptoms well, so they get misdiagnosed. I had to fight to provide a training for an org that worked with trafficking on DID, and once I provided it, it was like a bomb dropped among the clinicians and some of the supervisors. Because it was clear that it was everywhere.
