David E. Jordan, MTS, MA, LAPC
Director of Counseling
Nicolé R. Fuglsang, MA, NCC, LPC
Director of Admissions/ Public Relations

I assume the "Director" is

Mark Keith
Director of Operations
 
Mark Keith has over twenty years experience as a leader, administrator, outdoorsman, instructor, and logistical support provider.  He has achieved mastery of all operational skills necessary in wilderness-based leadership training.  His background includes a meritorious career in the United States Special Operations Forces, for which he was named a Distinguished Member of the Regiment in the elite 75th Ranger Regiment.  Mark was regularly entrusted with operational responsibility over highly complicated and sensitive matters undertaken by the government's most specialized units.  While in the service of his country, he received advanced training in logistical operations and communications, risk management, emergency medical procedures, wilderness navigation, mountaineering, primitive camping, weather systems, environmental hazards, and search and rescue.  He is a graduate of the Army's Airborne, Ranger, Pathfinder, Master Fitness, Freefall Parachutist, High Altitude Parachutist, and Advanced Land Navigation schools/courses.  In addition, Mark completed extensive training in leadership and organizational administration.  His first hand experience leading young people safely through rigorous wilderness activities is second to none.  Those kids who have the opportunity to work with him are forever inspired by his strength of character and inner discipline.  He leads the way as a mentor and guide.  Mark is currently certified as a Wilderness First Responder, Red Cross Life Guard Instructor, American Heart Association Basic Life Support Instructor, Ropes Course Facilitator, Climbing Tower Manager, Leave No Trace Trainer, and TACT-2 (Therapeutic Aggression Control Technique) Service Provider.

I hope they're not getting rid of Mark Keith.  He was one of the ONLY people there who actually cared about helping the kids.  Oh wait, how silly of me. Of course they're going to get rid of someone like him.

No room for an honest, ethical person of high morals and integrity at HLA.

While degrees and experience don't ensure "high morals and intergrity", the state does require certain credentials for staff. Unfortunantly if he is the 'director' he must posses what's required in order to hold that position.

HLA has lost yet another psychiatrist. Dr. Reddick walked out.

With no psychiatrist on board, who is dealing with kids' meds? Testing? Therapy?

Parents, please be aware that your kid is NOT being monitored by a psychiatrist. This is dangerous to say the least.

David Jordan quit his post at HLA reportedly over ethical concerns.

This leaves ONLY Nicole with the credentials to occupy this position.  She's going to be very busy holding three different jobs at Ridge Creek, HLA and MBA.  

She's also a lying skunk and ethically retarded.

Parents, ask where David Jordan is.  Ask why he left.  Ask who's taking his position and why.

Like rats jumping off a sinking ship...

Unsupervised meds.  That's fantastic.

D.J.-
Did you actually interview David and ask him why he is leaving (if in fact he is really leaving).  I was just wondering how you know that for sure since you haven't spoken with him directly.

"Reportedly."  This is what I've been told by employees still working there.  Since I've heard it from two credible sources, I consider it to be accurate.

Go back and do some fact checking on other items I've posted.  Not a single one has been refuted in any way.

Even with all of the staff fleeing, I still have two sources deeply "embedded" at the facility, one of whom is my friend from when I worked there.  Everything they've given me previously has been spot-on.  I also wouldn't rule out being contacted by him directly, as I have been by at least a half-dozen other staff that came to me with information and documents upon leaving.  

These things take time.  It will all come out.

His name isn't on the faculty page.  Was it before?
