If she is high functioning you might try to find a vocational program where clients can spend the day taking classes or have groups to slowly get them ready to get into the work place.

Sometimes I don’t make the best decisions, so you may have to become your sister’s advocate. There’s no cure for schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. It’s sometimes hard to appear normal.
