Why an Intervention?
Parents may consider interventions for their troubled teens for various reasons:
Behavioral Challenges: Teens might exhibit behavioral issues like aggression, defiance, substance abuse, or risky behavior, causing concern for their well-being and future.
Emotional or Mental Health Concerns: Parents might observe signs of depression, anxiety, self-harm, or other mental health issues affecting their teen’s daily life and functioning.
Academic Struggles: Teens might face difficulties in school, such as poor grades, truancy, or disruptive behavior, prompting parents to seek support.
Family Conflict: Unresolved conflicts or strained relationships can lead parents to seek interventions to restore harmony and communication.
Peer Pressure and Influence: Teens might be influenced by hostile peer groups or engage in activities detrimental to their well-being, prompting parents to intervene to redirect their path.
Substance Abuse Issues: Concerns about drug or alcohol use can drive parents to seek interventions to prevent further escalation and provide necessary support for recovery.
Safety Concerns: Parents may worry about their teen’s safety due to engaging in risky behavior or associating with dangerous individuals.
Overall, parents turn to interventions as a proactive step to address these issues, seeking professional guidance, therapy, rehabilitation programs, or specialized schools to provide the necessary support, guidance, and structure for their troubled teens.
Testimonials
“Joe and his team made what was for me the most anxiety provoking part of this process, the most seamless, nurturing supportive experience. Joe always either took my calls ...returned texts with a reassuring confident manner, or let me know when he was available to speak. Sherman and Richard were patient, yet firm with my son (who I thought was going to be explosive and difficult) and kept me up to date throughout the transport. If not for them and their gentle guidance, this could have been a disaster.”

"Sherman and Richard helped us through one of the most difficult day of our lives. They were kind and calming and kept our son safe and calm throughout a very long journey. ....They updated us regularly and responded to our texts and calls immediately. Our son did not want to leave them at the end of his journey to Wilderness camp, and I suspect when he gets home he will want to get in touch with them. Clinton also prepared us in advance. He and his staff could not be more professional and kind. I am eternally grateful for the help they provided us on that highly stressful day.”

“We were terrified about letting two strangers take our son to Wilderness Therapy far away. We initially spoke with Clinton, who was also wonderful at calming our fears ....and knew these two guys would be a good match for our son. We could not have been more pleased with how everything went. We worked with Jason and Leighton. Jason was the lead, and he was very calm and reassuring. He prepped us a few days before and just before entering our son's room. Our son is a 17 yr old and on the larger side for his age, we were so unsure how he would react. We entered our son's room and spoke to him for about a minute then introduced Jason and Leighton and they took it from there. We disappeared as they prepared our son to go. It went very quickly and smoothly much to our surprise. We heard from them a couple times along the way and afterward. They were great at allaying our fears and keeping us informed. Thank you!!”
