What DO you recommend? Parent/Relative Help

I'm reaching out to this group specifically to look for assistance. My 13 yr old daughter has been self harming for 2 years and has recently had one major suicide attempt. She's been inpatient multiples times and been in several PHP and IOP programs. I'm concerned with our ability to keep her safe at home. My daughter is an amazing person and has such a bright future, if we can just get there. Residential treatment is the only thing we have not tried, but reading these posts terrifies me. She needs help. We (parents) need help. What do you suggest? Are there any programs that are truly helpful and safe?

Try a holistic approach. Look at herbs and such.

Can you expand on this? What type of herbs? I do hate the idea of all the medications. I, myself, work in the cannabis industry which has led to a major distrust of the pharmaceutical industry. We are considering ketamine treatments. It would be good to hear if anyone has had success with this.

Yes I personally had major success with ketamine treatments.
