My support worker quit...

super-meg

She text me randomly last week saying 'I'm pregnant and can not continue to support you' and basically quit work altogether. Her boss was furious and so was my social worker because she shouldn't have told me and it should have been handled better. I'm gutted because I don't trust easy and worked with her every week for 7 months, we had plans to do things like going to the to important things like to get me to therapy I'd waited ages for that is 70 miles away and help me into supported employment. We have a lot in common and were more like friends. I don't know where to go from here I feel all alone again I don't know if I could trust a new support worker after this. At the moment I don't want to consider it but I'm feeling the effects of lack of social contact. 

Any advice?

  • my doc would say, unfortunately this is the practical reality of the situation. She did not quit, she got pregnant and has made a personal decision to not work but raise a family. She let you know personally, because she was close to you.

    This is one too address with the support worker provider, they must address the situation. At the end of the day, if your therapy treatment plan is working,, you should still have all the plans in place,, one support worker is not your world. Write this into your plan... what if support worker leaves, the impact and what to do about it. I would say lean on the social worker so that it gets sorted. See it as a test and an opportunity to meet a new support worker and have new eyes on the world. Remember you are super meg Smile
