[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 463165, member: 12490"] Great advice - while he is in a supportive setting - that's the time to present things that you KNOW he ill react to. Use the professionals to help him process. How about insisting - let me correct that - requiring that he particpate in an outpatient program? Even if he thinks you're ridiculous, the program directors have ways of reaching them. He can just sit and listen until he decides where he stands. As I usually say - those programs run in a "group therapy" way - nothing reaches teens like other teens. I have heard many people say "he's just not willing to go" - OK - what do you have that he wants?....car keys, computers, cell phones, etc. Again - while in treatment - present it as a condition for his release - they call it a discharge plan. They will help to get his commitment to doing it. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
