Its time for some damn ANSWERS from PURE
« on: January 29, 2005, 11:48:00 PM »
Ah, PURE. They hate WWASPS. That is good. They dont tell us what programs fund them or they refer to. That is bad.

So, if anyones been in a PURE referred program, or would have some information about what programs it refers to, or Sue's automagical method for deciding which ones are good or bad, and give more information than her website, lease post here!

Personally, I'm surprised I havent heard anything before, but now that we have a thread for it, maybe it can collect in the same location!

P.S. - this is offtopic, obviously, unless PURE refers to them (and I wouldn't know either way, and signs seem to point to no) but does Thayer (TLC) have any links to any of the other big players in the industry? Or are they just a startup on their own?

I cannot believe in the immortality of the soul.... No, all this talk of an existence for us, as individuals, beyond the grave is wrong. It is born of our tenacity of life -- our desire to go on living -- our dread of coming to an end.
--Thomas Edison, American inventor

I wish I had found Pure prior to calling Teen Help from the ad I found in the back of Sunset magaizine.

Sunset should be held liable for their promoting of the abusive,cult organization.

From my personal experience. In my opinion.

I agree about Sunset but do not agree with you about PURE.

In the best case scenario, it would be wise to consult with someone who is not PAID by the programs they refer to, don't you agree?

It is about AWARENESS not programs. I think that is what the anon is trying to say. I wish I had READ it prior my journey through HELL. Not found a program, but read the experiences. Personally the PURE site is very informative.

Or you could just PM her.  She's (or was) a regular poster here I think.

I have consulted more than 4 ed cons and they all referr to various types of programs and get paid for that service.

I have found that out after the tragedy we had endured.

I don't trust any of them .

Mrs. D.VA posts alot on Struggling Teens, or at least that's where I remember seeing the name.

FYI: Struggling Teens is run by an educational consultant.  It's targeted as a resource for parents of "struggling teens" hence the name.

 :wink:

Mrs. D VA is an acquaintance I "met" on strugglingteens.com.  She grew up in the rural area we now live in.  She had a reasonably successful RTC experience with her son, now over 18 years old.  She monitors the strugglingteens site, and lends what I feel is a *somewhat* moderate voice.  She is opposed to WWASPS and other programs she feels are abusive.

This lady is doing what she feels/hopes is best.  I personally disagree with *ANY* RTC, simply because we don't know if any are good, and we sure as hell know many that are bad.  That said, Mrs. D personally should be given a little slack, as she *thinks* she is helping other "struggling" parents.  IMO, she's not.

This does not make her any different from the people who answer the teenhelp hotlines. All the good intentions in the world don't make a thing right if it's fundamentally wrong.

If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for a reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
