[quote=Anonymous]OP, you really need to talk to the psychiatrist urgently. This is an after-hours, don't-have-an-appointment situation but your  If your kid is expressing suicidal ideation -- "I really don't want to be around anymore" -- that's a do not pass go, do not collect $200 scenario and the safest place for him is an inpatient unit -- which you get to after going to an ER.

My teenager did two tours at Dominion inpatient, one two years ago and one a year ago. She then went to Newport PHP after the first one and Dominion IOP after the second one. I agree with PP that Dominion IOP is a hard no -- the therapists are young and inexperienced and we left after less than a week (but we had a back-up plan) -- but the inpatient was what she needed at the time, as unfun as it was. I don't have experience with the Dominion PHP, but if it's staffed by the same people as the IOP, then also hard no.

Please do call the psychiatrist first thing tomorrow -- it's good to be proactive but you absolutely need professional guidance on this and you absolutely need to keep your kid safe. [/quote]
