[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're doing a real number on your kid if you're going along with the - we have to hide your mental health medication in your bag and don't ever tell anyone - line of thinking.

Do better for your kid.[/quote]

OMG you people. I haven't talked to the kid at all about it. But I do know the kid isn't going to want the medication "discovered" in a backpack and made public to teammates/coaches. I think it's ok to want to keep your health information - whether it's mental health or physical health - private. The entire team doesn't need to know about everyone's private health issues.

Just wanted to know what the protocols were at a sleep away camp. We haven't gotten any medication forms yet, but it sounds like they'll require the medication be given to the camp nurse rather than kept in their bag.[/quote]

Yes, have the nurse hold the medicine. Plenty of kids take meds for lots of reasons, and if another kid asks, your kid can say it’s private, or tell the truth. Taking an antidepressant is private but not shameful, no more than taking thyroid replacement, blood pressure pills, or adhd meds. I think the younger generation doesn’t have the hang ups that we have and it’s a good thing. Hope they have a blast at camp. If your kid is in a good place on lexapro, keep it going. [/quote]
