[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 401905, member: 1514"] DF...have you completed a parent report yet? If not, get one done before this meeting. Make nice copies for everyone. There is a format in the archives or somewhere. I know its either in the FAQ's or Susiestar's signature. Then...make a nice one page bullet-ted note for yourself. Call it your concerns/issues and requests paper. Put down all the things that you know about your daughter. What she has done and what you are worried about but in short blurbs. Put down in short blurbs what you think would help. I dont think a mentor is going to help either. A community support technician might but that would have to be someone who came out a whole lot more than one time a week for an hour. Someone who met with her every day from the time school lets out...say picks her up at school and works with her until 5 or 6 pm on therapeutic issues and community/family issues would be good. Thats if they dont want to jump head first into Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Personally, I would want Residential Treatment Center (RTC) but most times they want LRE first so I would request a full time support person with her 8 or more hours a day with her. Cory had this up until he was 15. Actually I think he had one after that if Im not mistaken...could have been one more at one of the group homes. This would be a person who is assigned to your daughter to shadow her wherever she goes. School, home and community. They are there to help her, redirect her, help her with therapeutic goals, get her to therapy, work on skills, all that good stuff. Basically a junior therapist that can be with her most of her waking moments except nights and weekends. Some can even get weekends but that is rarer. I would also ask for individual therapy for her with a therapist well versed in teens who are starting to show symptoms of borderline. This means they know how to work on DBT. Also ask if there are any group therapy sessions near you that she could attend. Also ask about getting her into programs to work on her self-esteem and keeping her away from drugs and the dangers of teen sex. Just rattling off some things off the top of my head. [/QUOTE]
