    Going to Sheppard Pratt trauma unit tomorrow

    Thank you. I’m just anxious about bringing things that I won’t end up being able to have because at a different hospital when I brought things that weren’t allowed, the staff “lost” (in quotes because they’re supposed to be in a locker with my name on it so don’t really see how they can...

    Going to Sheppard Pratt trauma unit tomorrow

    So, after a long 4-5 months of applying, waiting 2 months, being denied, applying again, waiting some more, 2 short hospitalizations... I’m FINALLY accepted and going to SP trauma disorders unit. This is a big shock honestly, after my second hospitalization for SI in late January and not hearing...

    Sheppard Pratt Trauma Unit - Denied As Goals Do Not Fit Program

    i know that. I don’t know how else to word the fact that I need help before I kill myself though. I’m already self harming, that’s in my application. My therapist has stressed to them that I’m just trying to hold off on acute hospitalization (since it made me worse last time) because I’m waiting...

    Sheppard Pratt Trauma Unit - Denied As Goals Do Not Fit Program

    but on another part of the application it asks about suicidal thoughts and the answer was yes so I don’t see why it would need repeated that not killing myself is a goal? Even though number 2 is basically that just in a vague way (my current coping skill is self harming so I clearly need a...

Reduce symptoms enough that I can go back to work 2. Learn to cope with triggers in a healthy manner 3. Avoid acute...

    Medicare + Longer Term Inpatient Treatment?

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a facility aside from Sheppard pratt that takes Medicare and is a longer term inpatient trauma program (like 30 days or longer)? I am trying to get into SP but it seems like I’m going to be denied from the last conversation my therapist had with admissions (the...

    Sheppard Pratt Trauma Unit?

    it may be he way she’s presenting it. She’s only had 2 patients go there despite being a trauma therapist who works in Maryland so it doesn’t seem like it’s a thing she suggests often for her patients

    Sheppard Pratt Trauma Unit?

    yes that’s the one. It looks like such a helpful program. What I’m bothered by is the fact that it lists those 3 things as following criteria yet the admissions coordinator said I have to be actively suicidal. That’s only one of 3 things listed so unless my therapist is saying things wrong I...

    Sheppard Pratt Trauma Unit?

    Okay so back story: i have bpd, ptsd, and severe anxiety. I’ve been hospitalized short term three times this year (10 times total since I was 13, I’m 25 now). Last stay was oct 2018, I was there 2.5 weeks and I did electro convulsive therapy that time around. It did nothing and my therapist...
