      Yikes. What a terrible place to be- stuck between a kid that needs help and clueless parents.

      I'll echo the school counselor route- they're (hopefully) better trained to deal with illnesses (mental illnesses included) that rear up in adolescents. And I also second the advice about checking in w/ the daughter when you see her. And if she reaches out- it's OK.

        Totally for helping the daughter/family get help from the counselors, etc. However, I fear that mom is not there yet and if she finds out that you "told on her" she may sever all ties with you and the daughter will not have anyone that supports her. I hope I am wrong. Tough, tough place to be.
        Finally - we are finished with training! Hello real world!!
