Teenage mental health

Hi - my dd is 15 and about 2 months ago I had a call from school saying that she is suicidal and advised me to take her to A&E. I did this and she saw CAHMS and was referred to them and has been given antidepressants- she has had episodes before but I really thought it was teenage anxs. She has been off school since and I have had meetings with school and had a plan for her to go part time but she refused to go. Now we are looking at special education for kids that have problems with mainstream school. She has GCSES in 2019 and as well as being worried sick about her mental health I am also worried about her education. Can anyone give me some help or guidance?

No expert on this but just a few thoughts. What input is your dd receiving to treat the anxiety? Can you push for a higher level of help? Do you have suitable alternative provision nearby? Or would a shift to this mean travelling each day, as this on its own will bring further anxieties. Is an alternative mainstream school an option. A fresh start and everything?
