My daughter has been there almost 8 weeks. I get a weekly call from her therapist. I don't get mail from her as she still doesn't have positive feelings for me. I'm going to see her this weekend. So far, I only get what her therapist shares which is 'slow progress'. Part of the process of Wingate is self awareness and insight. Some kids get there sooner than others. 85% of kids go on to "Aftercare" vs return home. These kids require an ED Consultant and a Psychological testing both are $2-6K. My kid had the psych review but the therapist won't share it with me till after the visit It's hard to "trust the process" I'm not sure I do fully as I find I'm conflicted with their advice and keeping me at a distance from information about my child . She doesn't want me to be 'unduly influenced prior to my visit with her however I would prefer to know. Turning over custody to this program relinquishes your involvement with your child significantly be aware of that! I will let you know more when I return next week!
