The Troubled Teen Industry / A Question
« on: July 09, 2004, 09:48:00 PM »
Teri,
I'm in the same boat. We have done extensive therapy with my daughter, including hospitalizations etc. She has done things to harm herself. She is only 13 and is still reeling from her fathers death 2 years ago. She needs more help than I can find for her locally. I can't even find a therapist to see her often enough to help. I hired an educational consultant, but am definitely looking for a "soft" program. One that is family inclusive. One that I can see her at often and that we can talk to her frequently. She can be such a great kid and I know she'll be an incredible adult one day. Her grief and pain are more than I know how to help with though, and I am so afraid for her safety. Anyway, good luck with your search, keep posting...I'll try to follow where you are.
