Hi, NP here. Sorry to resurrect an older thread, but I was searching the forum and this is exactly the info I am looking for.

DD is a senior in FCPS and was hospitalized Thursday for suicidal thoughts/plans. The plan is for her to go into a full-day PHP once she gets out, though I have asked about after-school IOP too. I know it's hard to get in to these programs so I am not sure yet what will be available or what would be better for her. She takes all AP classes and is super worried about how all this will affect her grades so I am trying to get more information to put her at ease. (I personally could not care less about school right now. I just want her to get better and live.)

I will call the counselor Monday morning to start whatever processes are available. Should I also reach out to teachers? They all seem so lovely and have been very accommodating with some recent absences due to both depression and other medical issues. She has high grades and has already gotten in to college, so I am hopeful they will try to help her do the minimum so she can focus on her mental health.

Any BTDT advice around PHP/IOP and high school would be helpful. This is her first hospitalization but we have been going through this for 4 years so I have already done a lot of the things advised around safety at home. [/quote]

Hi NP. I am one of the moms with a 13YO who wrote in earlier. My DD is now in wilderness therapy after 3 hospitalizations in January and February. We tried PHP at Dominion but it didn't work out. Apparently she slept thru most of it due to her dysregulated sleeping. She didn't participate in group when she was awake. When I notified the counselor, she notified the teachers for me but there were some times that I notified everyone at the same time. My DD was a high honors student but is luckily still in middle school so the school plans to allow her to move up to 8th grade. One of the things MCPS did for her is to exempt her from grading for all of her current classes. So this Q3, her report card should simply say "no grade". I don't how that works in FCPS or how that reflects for a HS senior.

Good luck! This is seriously the worst club I've ever been in.[/quote]
