[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it that time of year again when people post these stories in the hopes of scaring off a few and creating more waitlist movement?[/quote]

It does seem like that. I don't know anyone who dislikes it or is doing poorly there so these stories are not the norm, but they do seem to be working harder than most other high schoolers. [/quote]

Well I know my kid isn't alone. Kid saw another kid with cuts on their arm, told me, I called multiple people at the school and was told, literally, by a counselor, that self harm is no big deal. "It's not like it's a s**cide attempt. For real? I was totally speechless with that interaction.[/quote]

This is not consistent with our experience. We were impressed with the care the social worker and psychologist gave to the kids when an issue was shared. But staffing may have changed. [/quote]

I'd love to know who you talked to because I need a recommendation. I've had very few interactions at the school but the counselor was totally non-respondant and is currently avoiding a meeting.

The other counselor that advised me self hard is no big deal I have no idea who that person is but it made me think that if the two people in counseling I've spoken to give no Fs then I have no idea who to turn to.[/quote]

Go to the social worker (hopefully the same one is there - she was amazing) or the psychologist, not the counselor. One counselor was amazing but I think he was the standout.[/quote]

Thanks for the tip![/quote]
