Our family's journey to raise awareness of Mood Disorders in children and psychiatric service dogs by sharing our daughter Faith's story.

Denied......
We have been working a few months to get Faith enrolled in the "ECHO program" through TriCare. It is a program that offers more services to qualifying children such as ABA therapy at home, time for mom to get away with someone qualified to watch the children, and a few other things. The thing that made us think she would qualify is she is home bound in the sense that she was physically unable to attend school last year because of her mood disorder. However, our wonderful insurance denied us because she does not have the right diagnosis and it has not been proven that this ABA therapy would benefit her. How are we suppose to find out without trying???? Even though her doctor, who has been working with children and therapy like this for over 30 years said this is what will happen, they say no. But they sure do not mind paying thousands of dollars each month in medications for her to take like candy!!! This is typical with the military, just as with us Soldiers they do not mind pushing medicines down our throats but do not want to do proven things like give therapy or service dogs to us!!! Add one more item to my checklist of things to do.....Fight Tricare. Kris
