[quote=Anonymous]As the title suggests, someone close to me has a child leaving school for a medical leave of absence. The kid has struggled with anxiety that has manifested in cutting, anorexia, bulimia and some non-prescribed drug abuse. It seemed like this person was doing well. The student’s father, who is close to me, is really struggling with this decision. I would love some advice on how to help him. Any advice on how to help the student would be great too, but I’m not family and not that close (I’ve only met the kid a few times) so I don’t think I really have a role to play there. Have you had a child leave school for mental health reasons, and if so, how did it turn out? It seems to me like it’s a good sign that the kid knows to ask for help, and that taking a semester or two off to get help rather than gut it out is a good thing? Thanks in advance for any help you have.[/quote]
