  Canberra M. asked:

  My daughter is in year 8 and suffers anxiety depression and at times self harms. She is seeing our GP and was seeing someone at Heap Space who is now leaving. My daughter is shattered. I have asked Head Space and our GP for a list of people who can help support her. I was wondering if anyone out there has some they can recommend also has anyone else or is anyone else experiencing this? I feel completely lost, helpless and hopeless. My husband and I love our daughter and she knows that. We support her in every way we can but she needs more than we can offer her. She is on medication and started about 3 months ago. She hasn't been able to attend school due to her anxiety and depression so last term completed work through goggle classroom. We want her to attend school she has to. What other options are out there? Do we have online schooling in Canberra where she logs on a class time and has contact via computer for classes? Please help Xx

  These people are all in private practice and have previously worked in Child and Adolescent Mental Health so totally know what they are doing: Joanna Finlayson: 0413 220 952 (68 Thynne St, Bruce, ACT 2617); Teall McQueen: http://ccfpsych.com.au (City); Amanda Harris: 0481 242 833 (68 Thynne St, Bruce, ACT 2617) harrispsychology@gmail.com; I also second Think Psychology Solutions. You can ring the Child and Adolescent Mental Health service to see if your daughter fits their criteria, but Headspace would usually suggest this if appropriate. The Cottage programme is run through them, so you could contact them directly. Good luck and keep up your support.
