I have a question re. New Horizons (Maine, girls only, ostensibly a healing, nurturing environment in a wilderness setting) and its founder, Jacqueline Danforth, who was sent to rocky Mountain Academy by her mother (Barbara Walters) when she was younger, and who now touts this earlier experience as saving her life. Could anyone comment on this?
I personally am pretty anti-program, having gone 3 years and a summer session, preceded by a short stint in Juvenile Detention, plus lock-up in a mental institution. However, I recently learned that a friend of a very close friend sent her daughter to New Horizons and I was hard pressed to respond, as to be fair, I did not know anything about the place...
I guess my question is two-fold: 1.) does anyone know anything about New Horizons and can they comment?, and 2.) does anyone remember Jacqueline Danforth (different last name) at RMA, and how is it possible she could have a "good experience" there?
Thanks very much.
