This site is not worth any money. Do your homework. People here refer to ISACs to sells Amazon.com products, and get this they also refer to Lornia Goldberg, MSWACSW, therapist services for peope coming out of cults or so called cults, yet ISACs is supposedly Referral Free, and hang onto your hats, they also refer to Wellsprings Retreat Specializing in cult recovery. Yah that's right folks, the people at Fornits, push the services of ISACs who push the services of therapist and Programs. And you don't think this site makes money from their referrals? You fool. I got a bridge for sale! Referral Free Zone my ass.
Bollocks!
Bollocks - Your really are an idiot.
The links on ISAC's site are provided as a resource for victims of abusive cult like programs; Like the Whitmore Mansion, for example. They specialize in treating PTSD - a common problem for the victims of these cultic teen "help" programs.
Well Spring is a Professionally operated, voluntary, short term residential stay for *adults* wanting to overcome PTSD; Not an un-regulated, un-professional, lock down, long term RTC, holding minors against their will, and with out oversight or regulation of any kind.
No one entering therapy at Wellspring is picked up in the dark of night by hand cuff wielding "escorts"; to be taken against their will, to a facility where they will be held indefinitely; and where they have no way of contacting family or friends; and no way to report to anyone what ever abuse they might be suffering.
ISAC doesn't pretend to be helping parents avoid "bad" programs, so they can send them to "good" programs (that will then pay a nice little gratuity) in the way that Izzy & Sue do.
ISAC has simply tried to provide resources for those who need professional, compassionate, appropriate mental health care, after an encounter with the likes of Izzy & Sue, or any other such "referral agency" or "ed con" or "parent advocate".
I have to say - I wish people would pay ISAC a gratuity - b/c then they would have the resources to better reach the public with the vital information they gather on this industry. But what they do, they do for very little thanks, and an awful lot of trouble, from those who wish they could be harassed into silence; Like for example, Sue Scheff, when she told people "ISAC's going Down!" just before Robert Litchfield field sute against ISAC.
But no - they don't get paid for linking to WellSpring. That's just supplied as a helpful resource - like many of the other helpful links on ISAC's site.
Like anyone else who links to Amazon for Book sales, they get a small payment if a person buys a book after using their link - as they explain very clearly, in the hope if a person wants the book, they will want to help fund ISAC when they buy it; but you'll notice, they only link books that are informative on the problem of the abuses in the troubled teen industry; not a bunch of crap and pabulum by Doctor Phil, and Chicken Soup, and so on and so fourth, as PURE does.
The difference is so obvious, and so extreme, that one can only say you are a moron to attempt the comparison - or desperately (and stupidly) trying to deflect the attention from your own inexcusable lack of regard for the safety and welfare of the minors you send off to un-regulated, long term, lock down facilities, for profit.
You are really pitiful - in a disgusting sort of way - like a snake, with its back broken.
