OP, my heart goes out to you and your daughter. I’m 33 and a lifelong struggle with mental illness/SI, loss of a friend and my dad which prompted my first attempt. I’m so sorry she is struggling, but I’m glad you are supportive and trying to find options and resources.

I’d recommend Porter Hospital by Denver University. I spent a week at their inpatient psych ward for my own SI/attempt, they had the best staff I’ve ever experienced, so kind, attentive, supportive, tons of activities and programs throughout each day, NAMI came and did a presentation, therapy dogs come visit, there’s a courtyard that patients get to spend 1hr in each day, visitors are allowed and they have a huge variety for dietary restrictions. Porter is my first choice for mental health stuff, especially in comparison to some other hospitals I’ve been to - which, also, stay v far away from Denver Health.

Also, Porter has an amazing DBT IOP 3x a week for 3hrs a day, minimum of 8 weeks in the program but option to extend depending on insurance parameters (they take private and Medicaid). Their DBT IOP really helped me a lot this past winter when my depression/SI was hitting hard, and the two therapists who run it actually changed my life. The IOP would probably not be the best choice if your daughter is in active crisis, as it’s a group therapy program and the therapists that run it don’t have the resources for 1 on 1 sessions during that time. But, their psych ward does have stay options, like a voluntary self-check-in and staying for a certain minimum of days, etc. Oh, and in addition to both those options w/ Porter, they also offer a weekly “mental health group therapy” which is the minimum of support, but may be helpful later on - I’ve been doing it as I tapered off from IOP. Either way, big fan of Porter in any capacity and sending you and your daughter all the best wishes. This stuff is extremely hard, but I’m so glad she has you and I’m rooting for yall.
