Provider Meetings - Grievances Overview

Providers meeting 1 and 2

A TEAM IN NAME ONLY

Dr. Parveen only knew that one of her clients was being starved. The food card was issued to Beth Vonieff not to either St. Lukes or Melissa Jacob Clayton and MJC had no business confiscating Beth's card and ordering the RCs to keep it locked in the cabinet when beth had no food whatever. Even if beth was playing games by not showing up when RC came to take her grocery shopping because there were certain innocent items that the RCs would not let her buy, you can find some other way of disciplining a client that stealing their food card for a week serveral weeks in close succession.

One of the RCs excuses was that beth would misspend her food allowance and starve towards the end of the month and I said so it is better for her to starve at the middle of the month or at the beginning. I was really angry when soon after they confiscated her card and locked it in the cabinet and beth was starving at the end of the month. Beth repeatedly asked for her card in medication meetings and my other housemate, Melissa Willard and I would shout at the RCs GIVE HER HER CARD BACk. Beth called MANNA at one point but either did not have the transportation or the authorization from social worker and Melissa Willard requested again and again in medication and possibly house meetings that the RCs obtain food for Beth from Manna.

rcS VERY HIGH HANDED AND STATED THAT IF MELISSA AND i WANTED TO GIVE BETH FOOD IT WAS OUR CHOICE.

I LIKED MANY OF THE RCS AND COULD SEE THAT THEY were just following MJC's orders but very distressing for Melissa Willard, Beth and myself.

MJ's apparent first excuse to Dr. Parveen who was trying to get food for a client who had money on her food card but no access to it was that Amanda Tillman was on vacation and Dr. Parveen said people go on vacation clients shouldn't starve that is why you get paid the big bucks for being supervisor.

Dr. P called MJ a second time and left a second voice mail, and said that for the second time in a few days Dr. P had been told by clients that beth was being starved a week at a time and Dr. P said if I am wrong, I appologize. Before that Dr. P said to Melissa Jacob Clayton that there were other ways of punishing a client than depriving them of food.

Beth, when I was living at Dunsinane Ct. used to do her own grocery shopping and I would see her wheeling a cart and she wanted to chose her own food again but the RCs said again and again if they gave her back her card beth would not have any food at the end of the month and I again stated but not often enough that I did not think starving beth at the middle or beginning of the month MADE ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER.

Someone needs to look into the legality of what Melissa Jacob Clayton did/ordered rCs to do last Spring. This is serious and I wonder if I wrote a letter to the Gazette or the Washington Post about the starvation of a client in a Residence program by Melissa Jacob Clayton would get a response of the outrage that I, and Melissa Willard and Dr. Parveen felt.

MJC choses exclusively very, very young RCs just out of school or still in school who are malleable to her will and constitute a power force against responsible therapists and psychiatrists.

MC's other power grabs from professionals and doctors.

RCs lose there moral compass somewhere and regain it agin just before they leave st lukes EXIT INTERVIEWS ON THE COMPUTER ARE A MUST TO PREVENT BARRIE FRIEDMAN AND MELISSA JACOB CLAYTON FROM ENDANGERING CLIENTS.

Laura's despair real reason for her death needs to be looked into, why did RCs lie to clients and state that Laura had died of lung cancer and then after beth challenged her Nicole stated that Laura died of ovarian cancer. people with lung cancer linger and I barely heard that Laura was in the hospital and was trying to visit her when RC told us she had died and Gerda too was stunned by the quickness of Laura's death and said here today gone tomorrow and looked upset.

Laura was in despair after having been promised her own apartment for at least a year and then she was told that she would be dumped in the community in a rented room with no support. Laura had been at St. Luke's for a decade at least and she told me that when the inspector Howard came he teased her and said she was the client who had been at st. Luke's the longests and that she was THE QUEEN OF ST. LUKES and Laura said to me Aw, I'm no queen but seemed very pleased at the attention. Laura was in her early to mid-fifties and like Peggy Weiss when she was told she had to leave after 5 years with St. Lukes and aftrer Peggy and her aunt had made a complaint witnessed by someone at DMH against gerda's incredible verbal abuse of Peggy within a day or two after this meeting which Gerda was aware of PEGGY NOT GERDA WAS TOLD SHE HAD TO LEAVE.

I don't think Gerda or part of her did not want to get away with the abuse of her housemates and stalking, playing with fire with the stove ironing on the bed spraying lysol in my food AND THE FACT THAT GERDA ADMITTED THESE THINGS IN HOUSEMEETING AND IN THE PRESENCE OF WITNESS SHOWED THAT SHE did not really want to do the worst things she did and was crying out for help that she did not receive only the grace of God that there was not a fire started with her weekly mishaps on the stove and carelessness in loading dishwasher leading to the burning of a plastic spoon so bad that the metal portion had come off the halfway melted handle which had burn places. I had come upstairs and kept smelling something like diesal fuel, Gerda had gone off after turning on the dishwasher and neither Gerda nor the housemeeting person was concerned when I showed them the spoon and Gerda continued to carelessly throw plastic handled spoons and other silverware horizontal in the container in the dishwasher that is meant for silverware to be placed vertically.

Maybe the Fire Department could loan St. Luke's house some videos on kitchen safety. That is one life skill that is not covered by the classes at Southport and is the most importand.

Addendums to treat ment plans and Susan Wilcox deriliction of duty. comar notes never received. formal complaint against Ms. Wilcox for her part in the St. Luke's policy of blockading grievances or threatening people with the loss of their housing if they insist on being heard about dangerous situations.

if mjc is bully psychiatrists into changing their diagnosis of clients into lesser dx so MJC can throw them out of their housing and then bullying and trying to trick clients into seein g another psychiatrist when they are perfectly content with first psychiatrists needs to be looked into - contact Psychiatric Association to see if this rare situation is covered is it illegal it is certainly unethical for Melissa Clayton to use RC Amanda Tillman to browbeat a client into changing psychiatrists when MC is not satisfied with the dx. Several previous pyschiatrists including Dr. Claytor at Family Service when I saw her and who is now at SLH gave me an Axis I dx along with several other pychiatrists and the State Psychiatrist what are MJC's credentials to challenge Dr. Parveen's dx of me?????

How culpable is MJC for attempting this??????

Why doesn't Dr. Parveen have access to my previous provider's notes/files Amanda T told me that the strangely named Anastasia program which is supposed to include medical and psychiatric files on clients does not have the previous provider's files why not? I gave Dr. Parveen some of the paperwork that I had obtained from my files at Community Connection and from when I first started going to Family Service when MJC mistakenly or deliberately lied to Dr. Parveen and told her that I could not have an Axis I and an Axis II dx when previous providers have given me both?

Cry me a river.

I cried a river over you.

I could have been a contender before going through the meat grinder with Gerda and Beth acting out their childhood issues on me and other clients in a vicious, vicious way with not restraint up to and including lysol in food. Somebody hasn't been doing their job for a very, very long time, too busy making power grabs from real professionals

MJC wasted 3 years of my life by throwing me into the lion's den after GS and BV consumed the other fresh meat thrown to them no protection whatever.

BF and MJC most important job to make sure clients and neighbors are truly safe and bogus lines about if Linda doesn't FEEL safe in the house with Gerda she should go to Fenton House. Why should one client whose life was threatened by another using the proxies of Gerda's voices not leaving her alone until she told me of Aprodite's threats as Gerda said to Nicole Hester who called soon after I told Amanda Tillman of this over the top even for Gerda threat.

Careerism if using SLH as a launching pad to finance other careers should at least do some soul searching to see if they are giving even minimal amount to people who have had so pitifully little in their lives.

shocking to starve a client this cannot be slid under the rug along with everything else bf and mj have done the rug is getting really bumpy mj's little boo-boo of gerda giving her everything she wanted including unending and outrageous abuse of other clients blockading the bathroom and kitchen with nasty tricks when I first moved in Kari said fight gerda for the bathroom and i thought why should i have to fight anyone for the bathroom. these things come up and if mj would consult other agencies or people online or stop thinking of professionals who care about clients and with more education and experience like paula and dr parveen as enemies mj might learn how to deal with situations beth and gerda like wild horse need a team effort not telling client they have to be independent waterside rc furious and couldn't deal with beths needling and endless sophisticated troublemaking games how can client who is seen as sibling substitute do anything to protect themselves from abuse and harrassment jeolous even of peace of mind and try to take it away much less an attempt to really create something do something positive with life gerda and beth needed guidance to using their gifts instead of mj letting them take the low road and try to steal what energy and effort I tried to put into my art gs told at that all I did was watch slide shows at that time I was making many discoveries with computer graphics and at said contemptously out of nowhere that i did on the computer was watch slideshows after years of abuse much of which the rcs witnessed and did nothing about and refused to let me speak that is all I am reduced to.

someone in the house, melissa willard with severe and persistent eating problems and mj in sublime stupidity deprives a client of the food stamps hers by legal right and creates a chain of horrible events.

the lives of clients worth less than the dust to bf and mj and the rcs while likable in alot of cases have their salaries and future earnings as mental health professionals dependent on their ability to do doublethink while carrying out mj's sometimes criminal and often immoral orders such as ignoring gerda refusing to come down for medication monitoring and screaming in her room at the top of her lungs for weeks then months despite my pleading with them to help gerda to give her some attention. though mj's favortism was based on liking for gerda when she was rc though mj never visited gerda but was only interested in gerda being a feather in her cap for mj's career and ignored her until she could get rid of her strange timing for gerda's hoc to come through 2 months after i had to run for my life.

less competition in painting sequences of gymnastics but much bigger market in equestrian if eric would listen could help him find additional markets for artwork of people who need and want to make money with their work but he along with mj consider the ideas of clients too worthless to even listen to and consider.

gerda ironing on the bed and the way mj handled after caryn zaner freaked out.

best dancers and choreography actors used to say in interviews on tv that they were only as good as the parts they wer given to play

audrey hepburns beatnik dance in funny face used 5 years ago in lerner clothes advertisements many references in people diary type blogspots would be many of shaposhnikova's sabre dance beatnik choreography if americans had been allowed to participate in and watch the 1980 Olympics.

Richard burton wrote that before he met elizabeth taylor that he had thought that painting was rather bad photography.

yes it is a very nice letter but it is hollow it does not mention gerdda which was the whole reason for the grievance meeting and at the end bf wrote that if I wanted to file a formal grievance I could do so but after bf shameful handling of the very short grievance meeting and threat that i could lose my house I thought that it was a formal grievance hearing and bf's comments are bogus also she wrote that if I wanted the comar notes to my treatment plans that read like character assassinations I should contact Susan Wilcox, I did so and she never returned my calls. According to the first grievance policy I was given patients could ask for Comar notes and they must be given but another joke if the person responsible for handling it susan wilcox does not return repeated calls the only choice is to go to the CEO and or the Board of Directors and bf's handling did not leave much confidence that those above her would care anymore and began to contact Congressman Van Hollen's office and Phil Andrews of the County Council and was told that i needed to write permission for them to get involved in my case to oversee dmh and other agencies investigation of my complaints but the horror of gerda was so intense it was hard to get even part of it on paper.

mj supposed to administer care not have the attitude that her whims are law. no sense of fairness or evenhandedness or even interest complete lack of interest in clients safety to the point of telling a client who has been threatened by another that she could go to fenton house.

When I mentioned how very young ALL the RCs were gerda said "I don't like alot of kindergarteners telling me what to do, I mean, I am Jehovah God and these kidnergarteners are telling me what to do." Gerda was about 40 years old when she said this, Melissa Willard, current housemate is peeved by the young clients groups and is in her 40s.

ALL of the RCs mj hired are in their very early 20s mj inherited Nikki Lak from the merger with threshold. I don't believe MJC would ever have hired anyone over 30 years old you can tell how old someone is by the number of jobs on their resume and many of the rcs are on their way to somewhere else, becoming psychologists not yet out of college or just out of college alot of money in training would be okay if some rcs were in this situation but need more mature rcs caryn zaner going pow pow pow with her finger held like a gun as we entered bank and I wondered who was taking care of whom older rcs might stay around longer and mj would not have a band of yes women to fight dr. p and paula with advice from her "good" mother bf on vicious office politics which give mj power but which is detrimental to the safety of clients and their neighbors.

action not words it takes more than just saying it must be hard for you bogus sympathy is not needed a more mature responsible rc supervisor is needed and barries actions in squashing any attempt at grievance policy deriliction of duty in letting situations fester until they explode as they did with gerda spraying lysol in my food after peggy and I had filed grievances against gerda's abuse a year and a half early the situations should have been dealt with then instead peggy was told she had to leave a few days after her grievance the statement that there will be no retributions for filing complaints is as bogus and most things at st lukes barrie would not let me speak more than one sentence in my complaint about gerda's abuse of me ( and her savage abuse of peggy affected me as well) after this one sentence barried stated to me that maybe st lukes program wasn't for me I looked down and the obvious and shocking threat and continued looking down neither Barrie, mj or alex tried to talk to me they just quietly got up and slipped away and after sometime of my staring down sweta, my then rc asked if I wanted to leave no followup to this meeting to see how I was of if gerda was continuing her abuse which they knew of from peggy's formal complaint two months earlier only a bogus letter mentioning the realatively minor maintenance issue which I would not have called a grievance meeting for.

The way st lh mishandles ie squashes any attempts to make known serious issues that are part of the main part of mj alex and barries responsiblity to handle why did core services start leaving this off of their yearly inspection questionnaire HOW DOES ST LUKE'S HANDLE GRIEVANCE. they don't and i'm sure that it was messing up slh statistics to have this one questions answers sticking out like a sore thumb of negative responses from Slh clients so someone talked core services out this all important question because all the violence and misery stems from barris mj and alex's refuse to address real problems endangering clients an neighbors physically and emotionally, ie the extreme careless around the stove and with ironing by SOME clients and neighbors moving away because of gerda's screaming the neighborhood down with the rcs hearing it and doing nothing to help gerda her housemates or the neighbors the 17 visits a month are made bogus by mj's refusal to hear what she doesn't want to hear and rcs obey her orders to ignore a woman a client screaming at the top of her lungs for the 15 minutes they are there and like a dysfunctional family pretending it isn't happening. Week after week month after month of ignoring screaming that was not just told them by clients when gerda was better and charming to rcs and then would start screaming after they left but a measure of gerda's despair that she finally refused to come down and just screamed and screamed while the rcs were administering medication to peggy and myself.

sometimes rcs regain their moral compass just before leaving and exit interviews if only on computer are need to pinpoint trouble makers ie melissa jacob clayton and her supervisor and mentor barrie friedman.

psychiatric professionals should have been able to see through gerda and beth's gossip about me and pretending that i was oppressing them to the fact that they were continuing childhood dramas and using me as a substitute, i did everything possible to avoid an argument or hurting either one of them the rcs would have been bored as was the emergency help after i pushed beth to call them after she had called the police for the second time in one day over an imaginary incident of a man with a gun and that evening she called the police which i did not know until they came to the door or surrounded the house. the emergency slh person only told beth that she was imagining things and got off the phone in less much less than 5 minutes so i was left to dealwith it and when the police come to the door or suddenly appear just below the back porch deck it is my business and i have to make a response over something beth has done i am sick of rcs telling me that anything to do with housemate beth is not my concern. including ignoring her when she has no food for a week but a food card ie food stamps locked in the medication cabinet which beth was not allowed to use for a week at a time for 4 almost consecutive weeks because beth kept missing appointments with rc who drove her for 25 dollars of food a week and would not let beth buy even a few items she wanted.

How many of these computers are floating around ie password protected but stored in residences with personal information on clients with the bogus reasons that said computers in basement of residences were placed there because slh decided to kindly allow clients to use them when new computers were purchased. The computer was unusable because it was password protected and the help desk refused to help me take off password to use for my computer graphics until rc amanda had requested it when i kept insisting that i needed the computer and that it should have been wiped before placing them in residences to protect sensitive client information, she was unconcerned and over a period of months refused and finally started obliquely threatening me with loss of housing if I continued. This incident was brought up at the last provider meeting and grossly mishandled until Paula asked what about reboot when I stated as I had to amanda and other rcs that i was going to lose 8 years of work in computer graphics because my old computer was on its last legs and making terrible noise robbie said the noise was the death throes of my computer and that he had a soft ware program that would get rid of the password but never brought it by mj and bf know about reboot so why didn't they help me even in the meeting until paula spoke up.

investigate carelessness with client information and casualness in brushing off information that client privacy had been breached, nullified by distributing slh old computers without wiping the drive of very private information on clients mj eventually came and took the hard drive/cpu away.

He who maketh or telleth a lie cannot enter the city of God (heaven).

Jesus called satan The author of the lie and the father of it.

satan is The Father of Lies

Jesus is Truth He said, "I am the Way, The Truth, and the Life." and "all who come to me, I will in nowise cast out."

Reiterating for mj and bf that there eternal souls are on the line and in their own hands until Judgment Day. God is not mocked and there will be justice for the poor and needy from those who oppress them.

My grievance is an outlining of this oppression from bf and mj and Alex George not doing the most important part of their jobs keeping clients safe and responding adequately to grievance before situations become so dangerous.

bf mjs moral corruption of youth rcs and setting up a situation for Melissa Willard and myself to be ordered to ignore a housemate whose food card was stolen and who had only flour and water to eat for one week then she was allowed her food card for one week to spend 25 and then her food card was taken again bf and mj don't trouble their beautiful minds to imagine what it is like to be in a house sitting in the kitchen with someone trying to make pancakes or bake a cake with only flour and water at first beth refused the egg and milk and other things i offered had been trying to teach beth not to steal food and other items from housemates and this demented illegal action by mj scotched that and beth began taking things other than food and housemate Melissa Willard expressed her distress to me and numerous rcs and requested as did i that beth's food card be returned to her.

Melissa Willard has a very severe eating problem and mj's beautiful mind did not consider the impact on Melissa Willard of starving beth for four almost consecutive weeks.

Please investigate and prosecute. MJ is utterly incompetent for the job she holds and a troublemaker on top of that. She needs to be removed and someone placed who cares and knows how to really create and run a team to help clients not a gossip mill with mj as queen bee.

people who lie as easily as they breath a Monica Goodling type stealing the chance to vote from black servicemen and placing inexperienced AGs who would do bush's bidding replacing ags with substantial trial experience with very young Ags with trial experience whatever.

Please get a supervisor for Belpre with some morality, competence and without so many personal power problems.

MJ reminds me of Natalie Wood in All The Fine Young Cannibals but Barrie Friedman is living proof that older is not necessarily wiser.

Paula Weiss' and Dr. Parveen's professional and personal integrity shine out next to this very deep dark moral blackness of mj and bf.

At one point amanda was mocking Dr. Parveen for being eccentric and I told her that Dr. Parveen cared about patients, had integrity and professional standards which she and mj should emulate - at did not take my advice nor did mj if she heard of it.

WRITE to American Psychiatric Association to tell CEO about mj's trying to bully me into seeing another psychiatrist when I stated repeatedly that I was more than satisfied with my current slh psychiatrist Dr. Parveen.

strange and upsetting "questionnaire" or psychological test amanda surprised me with in car very inappropriate questions then cut me off opening up unto most terrible times in life should not have been given at all by unqualified personal and not sprung on me this was done about the time mj was pressuring Dr. Parveen to change my dx to a personality disorder axis I so mj could say I no longer qualified to be with slh, when Dr. P would submit to Mj's pressure she tried to trick then force me to see Dr. Kahn.

bogus bogus bogus - weeping over my harsh treatment of Amanda kept trying to say I knew mj was responsible for ordering at to do most of the terrible things she did.

why doesn't mj and bf go into traditionally cut-throat businesses instead of helping to turn the pitiful amount of dollars in mental health into a cut-throat business? strazheva
