[QUOTE="sushideluxe, post: 746913, member: 21956"] Hi! I am chiming in because my husband and I sent our then-13-year-old son to therapeutic wilderness last summer followed by a TBS in the fall. I will tell you that wilderness is not intended to be punitive. Rather it takes away all distractions so teens must learn to process their feelings. These therapeutic programs are very expensive, but if you can afford it, I would highly recommend that you find an educational consultant near you. The ed consultant will help you pick out the right therapeutic environment for your daughter. You said your daughter has been seeing a psychiatrist, and I assume she has had a neuropsychologist evaluation as you have diagnoses for her. Have you tried Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)? It is a game changer for kids with strong emotions. My 17-year-old daughter is in a DBT skills group and I think it is very helpful for her. Is your school district providing any services for your daughter? If you can prove the need, you might be able to get them to pay for a TBS or additional services. For that I recommend a Special Education attorney. My son is doing very well. Feel free to PM me with any questions. [/QUOTE]
