p.s. Those in charge at Carlbrook do not seem to be capable people. We went through heartaches and I know of others who also experienced problems. There is no ongoing medical presence at all.  However, most of the Advisors seem to be very professional and really compassionate about their work and the kids.

Our child went to Carlbrook. Some of the kids in his class are doing fine, but many are having problems. While we were in the program, there were indeed problems. The leadership is weak, but some of the individual therapy provided seems pretty good. (Some of it was a little harsh though....concerned about this). The acadmics seem pretty good. The school could stand some improvements though. I agree, a good place for more information might be http://www.strugglingteens.com. HOWEVER, my guess is that you could  get fake replies from Carlbrook staff at that location. (Sad, but true) I'm a real parent who has BTDT. If you are interested in Carlbrook, just be sure to research the school well and ask many, many questions. Check up on your child often. Leave no stone unturned. Do your homework, etc. Be professional and expect the same of Carlbrook, especially those in charge.

Anyone whose even read over this thread in a cursory manner can see this place has tons of issues itself, and clearly isnt in any position to provide therapy for others.

AND, its been demonstrated that it relies on LGAT's, as in large group awarness trainings, as in sensitivity training, otherwise known as a "workshop", "seminar", "propheet", or a "rap".

Information about them is not hard to find, but in brief its nothing more than pushing emotional buttons until they're broken down and easy to manipulate and control.

Part of the hippocratic oath is 'first, do no harm' - I think that applies to children as much as adults.

I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious theories of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God.

My daughter went to Carlbrook and it's an awesome school.  The school has an excellent academic program with an outstanding record of getting students into preferred colleges.  The therapeutic component works well and my daughter is a changed individual.  I highly recommend it.

Phoenix Outdoor is starting to be the new wilderness program of preference.  It has a positive peer culture, a base camp the students visit weekly, and is all about helping the family along with the student.

Will someone please describe "Positive Peer Culture" and "Therapeutic Component"?

I knew Tim Brace from Rock Mountain Academy...he is a smooooooth talker...people will recommend that you ask questions...keep in contact etc. but I'll challenge any parent to try to get the WHOLE story about what goes on in whatever they are calling raps, propheets and workshops.

also research SYNANON and HERBALIFE for more interesting info...google Mel Wasserman...or just search his name on this site.

I'm the poster above...Strugglingteens.com is run by Lon Woodbury who worked in the Business office at RMA when Tim Brace was headmaster...boy...talk about tangled tangled webs...you really think they are gonna give you a non biased opinion...HAHAHAHA.

For the money you spend on one of these programs you can buy your kids way into a REAL school such as Andover or Exeter...a better chance for your child's future success in my opinion.

A lot of the kids at Carlbrook, Oakley etc. have already been kicked out of schools like Andover. Good luck staying in those schools while you disregard authority, drink and use drugs.

Yeah! And leave that garden gnome alone!

Carlbrook actually has representatives go out to the wilderness site and pick the student up and brings them to the boardingschool/whatever.  They never leave the kid alone.  This is considered safe.  The parents agree to this too.  Sounds kinda prisonesque if you ask me.

Carlbrook is a lame program and a scam.  I saw that guy Tim B. grab a kid by the neck and slam him on the ground.  Parents don't realize the abuse that goes on there behind closed doors.  The classes are a joke and the kids get punished relentlessly including restraints.
