Has anyone here ever gone to an emotional growth/theraputic boarding school? I'm going to one in the fall and I was just wondering.

there are no specific qualifications to get in every case is different. usually there is a mood or anxiety disorder present. People would usually look for a therapeutic school when they are having severe problems socialy, academically, and/or with their family.

therapeutic schools are much different from mental hospitals. If you exhibit suicidal or self harming you will most likely get kicked out and sent to a mental hospital. If you want to see examples of these programs go to http://www.natsap.org

I have been offered the possiblkility to go to a theraputic school before...but I turned it down cuz I like beign with my school friends.



Anyway, I think it's really good to go to a school like that. u get more attention than at a regular scohol, more guidance...and possibly, the teachers are more approachable, so you can talk about ur problems to them without being worried-the teachers are probably prepared for that sort of thing.

And though I keep on trying, it's so hard to change.
