New Team Members at
Silverado Boys Ranch

The team is growing at Silverado Boys Ranch. In the last quarter, we have added Brad Evans, M.S.W., C.S.W., Kelly Niess, M.A., M.F.T., and Jan Aston, M.S.W., C.P.C., to the clinical team. They join our Executive Director, Kreg Gillman, Ph.D., and our Program Director, Eric Fawson, L.C.S.W., who will continue to carry caseloads.

Each therapist has worked with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings within the therapeutic, residential and chemical dependency fields. Jan Aston will oversee the Substance Abuse component and is currently screening all students prior to placing them in one of her four weekly SA groups. In addition to Jan’s formal psycho-educational Substance Abuse groups, many students participate in a Sunday night open 12-step sobriety meeting which is facilitated by the students themselves.

All three therapists are outdoor enthusiasts, who bring tremendous energy and drive to the boys and to the spirit of SBR. Their experience, passion, and commitment compliments SBR core philosophy and belief in providing strong clinical support in a warm and nurturing atmosphere.

Silverado Boys Ranch is an owner-operated therapeutic boarding school for boys, ages 13-17. We emphasize a positive peer environment, an emotional growth curriculum, and a value-based level system to assist boys in developing supportive social interactions through teamwork and shared responsibility via *work* love* and *play.
