SavingTeens was recently represented on Parent Choices For Struggling Teens in an episode titled: Learning to Live Again: One Girls Journey to Recovery
Emily is a recent graduate of a Wilderness Therapy program and a Therapeutic Boarding School. She shared her story about the negative choices she was making that caused her parents to decide on a residential intervention. She emphasized that contrary to negative stories, everyone - including the transport officials, wilderness staff and boarding school staff treated her very well, making her for maybe the first time in her life feel guilty about how poorly she treated them. More importantly, she feels that that experience has given her a second chance for to take fully advantage of a great life.
Carrie Weatherhead shared how SavingTeens is raising money to help families like Emily's financially so they can make the difficult decision to enroll their child in a residential program.
