Also with her in crisis right now. You need to take her to a center were
they work with folks that are in crisis. THey can sometimes work to get
them into a psychiatrist earlier than you can. They can also work with
her in a outpatient way usually. I believe at least.

The one other thing I can suggest is to call Nami, or go to there website
to find someone that can help.

About the school isssues. I would call a conference if she already has
a IEP or 504. Have them work to set it up were she is succeeding more
for now. Then when she is getting more or accurate help for her mental
health issues. They can set up her curriculum to do harder things.

Also I would try talking to the few friends she has parents. And then
they too can help talk to her friends about what is going on at present
in her life.
If they understand they will be more likely to stay friends and help get
her through the situations she is in.

When it comes to the hitting and things like this. As long as its not in
school its your decision what kind of punishment you give.
