[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took my depressed ,anxious 14 year old, 8th grader out of school and took him for 2 weeks to a surf camp in Costa Rica. Cheaper than wilderness therapy. It reset him and helped him get out of a dark place. [/quote] This. A child may just need a change of scenery. I think it's also possible that a child may benefit from being away from the family, either because of dysfunction or just ineffective coping patterns. But you can accomplish that without completely giving up on evidence-based therapies or family support. Going to stay with a beloved aunt or grandparent for a while is also an option that may help.
