Travel tours for mentally ill adults, do any companies offer this service?

My brother is a funcitoning schizophrenic, can not work but with help can manage day to day stuff. He wants to visit some East Coast cities and needs trained professionals to accompany him. (I called the NAMI and NMHA but no luck)

Why not hire a psychology student? Many of them have already worked with the mentally ill. If you are looking for a free service, I don't think one exists.

I don't think there is a service either. I think maybe 2 family members should accompany him. For me, I can guarantee a meltdown when I travel due to stress & I have to be the driver (husband is blind) I dunno how your brother is with disruptions to his schedule, though. he might want to drive (or be driven) & not fly in case his symptoms get worse, because they might not let him on the plane if he is too impaired. I won't fly because I'm bipolar and after 9/11 I worry if I have a meltdown when I make a mistake or someone yells at me.

You could try an overnight visit to a closer city & see how it goes. But I really think it will have to be family, or hire a social worker or a person who has been a community support person or something (trained, but no degree).

All the best to you & your bro.
