[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Been looking for DBT for a long time. All dead ends. No one takes insurance, no one  has openings, etc etc.

At the ER I met a mom (social worker) with a child in crisis also. She said she had gotten her into a fancy DBT program only to find they did none of the real DBT work they claimed.

No magic cure, but DBT therapy is the one evidence based and therefore hardest to find. Also, people claim DBT training and dont have it. Ask me how  know. :(

Meanwhile, DD got struck by a resident who had threatened her, and everything I did and DD did to advocate for her safety resulted in exactly what we hoped to avoid.

In fact I told the supervisor tonight that my gut told me something was going to take place that evening. It did. I had warned security and all staff. Was not enough.

She is now safe in isolation with 1on 1 staff. Sleeping. Its her last day/evening tomorrow. I hope they keep her isolated and tucked away.  I they cant Ive told them Im coming to take her out.

A setback she didnt need. Thank goodness not hurt physically, but some nice PTSD coming. She had been bullied at school and struck in the classroom. Lather rinse repeat.

Im furious.[/quote]
