[quote=Anonymous]Over the past 8 months, my teen has been in 2, 60-day residential mental programs and 2, 2-week hospital mental health programs for self-harm, depression, severe inability to get along with others, stealing, alcohol use, vaping, and suicidal thoughts and acts. My teen will be discharged, or even kicked out early for behavior issues, from the 2nd, 60-day program very soon. I'm at a loss of what to do next. My teen has made no progress in these programs. Once departing the residential facility, my teen attends a day program...which recommends within a few weeks readmittance into a residential facility. It's a terrible cycle with no end in site. My teen cannot be left unsupervised at home...it's almost as if a full-time babysitter is needed. I'm worried for my teen's safety and my safety. I'm getting no advice from the mental health facility about next steps. I don't know what to do when my teen returns home. [/quote]
