[quote=Anonymous]New poster here with another 13YO DD in a mental health crisis. Currently hospitalized in Dominion. Was hospitalized 2 weeks ago for the first time in another hospital. This thread helped me in two ways: I got a window alarm and I got Bark. Bark was an app that I saw mentioned here for the first time. I got it during her first hospitalization and it really helped me get in front of what was going to be her first real suicide attempt. I was able to get her to talk with the suicide hotline and the next morning to put her safety plan in action. I don't think Bark is 100% but it let me know enough to know her plans. The window alarm was helpful because she wasn't able to sneak out to CVS to buy the pills she had been planning to buy (which I know thanks to Bark).

Am currently looking at PHPs in the area for her next stop on this horrible journey. But thinking about school too. She's only in 7th grade. What kind of IEP should I start thinking about? What kind of school support should I be asking for when she goes to a PHP? (Partial hospitalization program)
