PTSD & ANXIETY

My daughter is 11 years old and receives DLA for her mental health. I am her Mother and I am also physically disabled and receive DLA. My daughters school are not understanding my daughters mental health issues and are trying to push things on her that are just making her worse to the point where I'm struggling to even get her into school due to her meltdowns and panick attacks. I don't know what to do.

I know what ever the time and place there will be times be OK and healthy but other times need additional support.
Understand your upset and emotional.
I am one of the community champions on the forum. Have long term mental health issues and a wealth of knowledge use to help members of our community.
Reason why I always say use any of these three charities.

I do know had myself teenage years mental health had since ongoing support. Am OK bit by bit helps.
I would use RETHINK advocates or speak to any of the links. No matter whoever they are.
All charities offer a better services, support than CAHMS.
Only used them once, that was enough .
Hope that gives your daughter and you some reassurance to apply either self refer or speak to GP.
Might not be in all areas.
Please if you have any questions please ask me.
Offer compassion, empathy.
Please take care.
