Do I Send My Depressed Child to Boarding School?

No decision like this should be made without working with your child’s therapist. Your child should not be sent away with unresolved mental health issues, especially when suicidal ideation and cutting have been concerns. Since you live in an urban area, perhaps a different high school while still living at home would be an option.

Treatment needs to be a priority for now.
