My teenaged daughter has been diagnosed with ptsd after a string of physical assaults at school (the worst of which resulted in a fractured nose). She is getting professional support, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for myself, as a parent, to be sure I'm doing the right things to help her at home. Perhaps you read a great book, article, or have just found something that works; I would just like to know I'm on the right page to help her heal and am not going to be adding any unnecessary strains during her recovery. Thanks 😊
That must be a very hard appointment to have to wait for, I’m so sorry. As you say, I’m sure they are taking all the right precautions with the scan. It’s good to know they are looking in to it so thoroughly for you, and I’ll cross everything that you’ll get some positive news! Thank you for your candid replies, I’m sorry you, or anyone ever has to feel that way. Your advice is very helpful, it sounds like you and your Nan had a great connection- hopefully I can be there for my daughter in the same way 😊

your most welcome, im happy to help out in anyway that I can so please ask as many questions as you need
my nan and I were like best friends, I was lucky to have a good relationship like that. im sure your doing the very best you can with your daughter. it can be hard to know what to do especially if we don't experience mental health challenges ourselves.

Re: Teen ptsd
It is hard! She’s going through something I haven’t experienced myself. The last thing I want to do is make her feel any worse, but I guess my best will have to do! Hang in there tonight. Will be thinking of you tomorrow, and hoping you get a positive outcome from your appointment. Best get the kids off to bed xx
