Three Rivers Montana announces that as of this week co-founder Mark Parlett is serving as admissions director. Mark has a long history of working with teens and families in wilderness programs and loves working with the families that come to Three Rivers. Mark handled admissions during the first year of operation and is enjoying once again actively working with ed consultants and families during the admissions process.

Mark credits a wilderness program with saving his life. More than 20 years ago, his parents placed him in a program that became the inspiration for what he does today. As a young man, he set the goal of establishing a wilderness program that would include the elements that he believes are most important to sparking positive change. Mark calls those elements the Three Rivers differences. They are strong family involvement, licensed therapists with small caseloads of 5 to 7 students, field staff with average age of 29 and all have at least a bachelor's degree, a low student to staff ratio, and excellent transition services.

Mark replaces Jeff Johnson who served as admissions director for much of the past year. Jeff has moved on to other pursuits. Mark is eager to talk with educational consultants and parents. He uses his experience and knowledge to give parents the best possible information on Three Rivers so they can make a good decision on treatment for their child.
