[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 315240, member: 6546"] Lizanne-- Just my opinion here....but if your daughter cut herself to demonstrate how upset she was (you said "scratched" but I assume it was bleeding enough to warrant the school nurse's attention?) , then the school will definitely want to meet with you and establish a 'policy' for handling any such incidents in the future. Obviously, suicide attempts (even if only half-hearted) are supposed to be taken very seriously. If you and your daughter's therapists have decided they need not be taken [I]that[/I] seriously--then this is something that will will definitely want to let the nurse know and also let them know how you would like the nurse or school counselor to handle it. I think you need to go to the meeting with the idea of implementing a "plan". What would you like school personnel to do? Do you want them to ignore it? Probably not. Do you want them to contact you? Send her home? Have her meet with the school counselor? This might be a good opportunity to strategize a few different solutions for managing these kins of behaviors at school. Good luck! --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
