I'm wondering if anybody here has experience-- personally, another family member, etc.-- with the Anasazi Foundation's wilderness therapy program for adolescents.
This is really personal, but I am beginning to feel a little bit desperate. My oldest daughter has been struggling for a couple of years now with deep emotional/mental health issues. She's been in and out of UNI, outpatient treatment programs, and one-on-one counseling, and it has all been a spectacular failure. She is self-harming, and has scarred up her arms so badly with deep cuts and scratches she will always have marks. She doesn't know how to stop, doesn't feel like clinical professionals understand or care for her, and I don't know how else to help her. Honestly, guys, I feel like the only thing that would help would be me quitting "real life" and spending every minute of every day with her to keep her safe, and so she doesn't feel so alone.
Sorry-- that turned into a ramble. I'm completely heartbroken here. I've heard good things about Anasazi from a high school classmate who sent her son there. I don't expect it to fix everything, and I don't know how I'm going to come up with $30k to get her there, but I'm willing to do it if it will break her routine long enough for her to see through the fog she's living in.
Any insights would be appreciated.
