Any info on any of these places?

Pile of Dead Kids:
Hrm. All of these places have the distinction of not being mentioned on Fornits, and the parent company Justice Resource Institute hasn't been brought up on this site before. No mention of NATSAP, no level system, no mention of any of the disturbing dog-whistles we've seen here. All of these are positive signs.

Wow, info on this place is sparse. They seem to be following something of a medical model but it's hard to tell what they mean by certain things.

As far as mental health facilities go this looks like one of the best of the lot.

Paul St. John:
This is not the type of program usually spoken about on this site.  I can only give my personal opinion, of course, but it seems like a decent place to me.

And it says that parents can get involved in activites thye choose, so that keeps you in the loop.  I would actually say from what I gather, this is an entirely different breed of program, from TC's for example.  It is not tough love.


It seems very professional.  One of the things that I like the best about it, is that they refer to the child as their client!!!!!

I don t like that they keep using the word programming, but I would say that at the very least, it s getting more info.. talking to a director... etc.


Also, if your child is sufferring from Post traumatic stess disorder, you may want to look into EFT practitioners in your area.  I have heard from many who are honest, about miraculous results with this.

Also check out "The Power of Letting Go" by Patricia Carrington

The Sedona Method can also be helpful with this sort of thing...

Also, check out the book, " Focussing" by Eugene Gendlin, if you like..

All good resources for this sort of thing.

Hope your girl gets well.. Love goes a long way too..

Paul St. John:
Just do me one favor, Sad..

Please don t trust everybody.  there are snake-oil programs out there, and they are very good at sucking parents in and sounding professional.  It is what they do.. It is how they make their living.  They are as skilled as any politicians, and they are very good at using guilt and other "handles" within people to get them to do what they want.

I advice caution.. Be careful... A person would like to think that there would not be so much dishonesty in an industry like child care, but there is, and all you have to do is browse this site to get a taste of it.  Take your time, and draw your own conclusions.  Everyone has advice, but it is your child.

The reason people come off so harshly towards programs on these boards, is because they have been fucked by them.. they have been victim of them

Except me. I'm just here to help get rid of a certain flavor of evil.

And I'm not seeing that evil here at all. These people strongly look like they're doing good, or at least trying to. Affiliation with genuine mental trauma centers, family involvement, and although some of the stuff on that page looks a little new-agey, at least they understand what neuroscience is.

There's always the chance that they could be the next Peninsula Village, but it really doesn't look like it from here.

So yeah. If you really have to send her anywhere, send her to one of JRI's.
