Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I talked to my daufgter about what they had to do for their bi-polar daughter and she said when flipped out they called the cops which you have done many times it sounds like. They got her into therapy which didn't help a whole lot. She got so bad wwwwwwwwwwith wwwwanting to hurt the others in her family that she was finally put in a group setting at a place called Vanderhyden in Albany. She wwwas there twice which seemed to help. She's home now but still flips out so then they put her in a mental health unit at their hospital. She has been in jail and court many times and is on probation. This week she had to visit a prison which she thought was gross because some guys we urinating on the floor. So hopefully this makes a lasting impression on her. The guys told the group that the women's prison is worse yet. Maybe that's what your daughter needs, a reality check. She said she really didn't have any real advice because you just have to go through the system starting with getting the diagnosis, get the school involved . First she has to be declare bi-polar. Sorry I can't be of more help. I know this isn't helping your bs any but keep praying as I'm sure all of us will be doing for you. Did your daughter run again?

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 They had a program like that here in New Jersey. I am not sure if they still use it. It was called Scared Straight. They use to take them to the Rahway Prison for the day. I heard it was pretty successful.
