SAVING TEENS IN CRISIS COLLABORATIVE
Saving Teens Looks For Needy Families To Help
Thanks to the generosity of private donors and a grant of $100,000 from the federal government, Saving Teens In Crisis Collaborative (STICC) has raised enough money to begin saving teens.
STICC is looking for suitable families, who will be funded through an 18-20 month, long-term recovery program, including wilderness therapy and a therapeutic boarding school. Families will also receive support through the Saving Teens network of parents who have already gone through such a process.
To apply, the teen must be no older than 16 years of age.
Parents or referring parties must contact one of the following Educational Consultants who are working with Saving Teens:
Marilyn Engelman?508-870-1515
Adam Goldberg?508-320-2700.
Leslie Goldberg?781-749-2074
Lon Woodbury?208-267-5550

and a grant of $100,000 from the federal government,
That's what, enough to torture two kids for one year?
Exactly what government agency gave them this money, what restrictions did the government agency place on the use of the money (if any), and what programs will be benefiting from this taxpayer handout?
Any Fornits members know how to find these things out? Because I think we've got a corruption scandal waiting to be unleashed.
-
Are you sure that isn't some kind of joke? Were dose it come from?
Anybody got a link to the sorce? Lon, we most all know - who are those other clowns?
-
i suggest everyone email lou dobbs about this immediately. nobody is going to help you but lou.

This ain't no joke. Just like the referral industry preying on intolerant parents ain't no joke. This is just another way to medicalize adolescence so parents can raise their kids without having to see or hear them.

Second Nature Wilderness Program Provides 75% Scholarships For Saving Teens Kids
Second Nature recently announced their support for Saving Teens saying::
Second Nature is proud to offer a 75% scholarship to children that have been approved and funded by Savings Teens for a long term recovery program. We do so because we value the
Saving Teens methodology. This begins with their comprehensive evaluation which insures
that the kids we are providing scholarships for are a good fit for our program. Once they
have completed their wilderness component Saving Teens funds a longer term therapeutic
environment, like a therapeutic boarding school. We think that this commitment to aftercare
for our clients gives them a much greater likelihood of eventual success. Saving Teens also
recognizes the important role the family plays and provides funding and emotional support
for the parents during the process so they can attend workshops and have someone to talk
to. We feel this is another essential component for success. Finally, Saving Teens requires
that the parents contribute to the process financially, according to their need, and that they
commit for the long term program of 18-24 months, to strongly discourage their removing
their children.
Overall we feel that Saving Teens has created an excellent model for recovery based on
real world experience. This gives us great confidence that the large financial commitment
we are making will be rewarded with troubled teens transformed into functional, happy,
young adults. We hope that we can be an example for other programs and schools by fully
participating in this very important initiative.
Saving Teens Participating In Panel Discussion At Independent Educational Consultants
Convention In Denver - May 2005
?Sorry, I?m Afraid We Can?t Help You?
What can educational consultants, schools, and programs do when a parent calls but cannot afford
their services or tuition? This interactive session will examine the magnitude of the problem and
look at different approaches or solutions that exist.
Saving Teens founder John Reuben will be joined by an educational consultant and
representatives from wilderness programs and boarding schools on this panel.

Saving Teens In Crisis Collaborative
25 Maybury Road
Sudbury, Ma. 01776
Evaluation
STICC?s multi-step, multi-disciplinary evaluation involves the collaborative participation of
psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and educational consultants.
Our educational consultants work directly with the medical team at our partner medical institution to
develop an individualized, long-term program for each teen, which encompasses the intervention
and educational phases of our methodology.
At every stage of the evaluation, STICC conducts interviews with the family to assess financial need,
determine the family?s ability to support a challenging 18-24 month process, and to explain the
recommendations of our team.
Parents must sign a contract, and agree to contribute to their child?s care every month for the
duration of the program.
The child is now ready for intervention.
Intervention
Entering a wilderness program or rehabilitation center serves to remove the teen from the existing
environment, put an immediate stop to the dysfunctional behavior and/or substance abuse, and
diffuse family conflict.
Wilderness programs are particularly effective because they teach self-reliance while including a
large therapeutic component. Rehabilitation centers treat substance abuse as a disease, and can
be very effective for the severely addicted youngster. Either program serves to radically change the
dynamic, and allow the child to focus on the underlying cause of the self-destructive behavior.
STICC?s role is to coordinate and provide the funding (and/or scholarships) for the intervention
program, the parents? travel, and even escort services for the children, as most teenagers do not
take this step willingly.
Education & Recovery
The most lengthy and expensive stage in a teen?s 18-24 month recovery plan is education and
recovery, where modest gains that are made in the intervention are then leveraged and expanded. It
is here that the self-realization that allows the child to effectively deal with life?s challenges begins to
occur.
Educational programs are not simply boarding schools, but speak to the complete development of
the child. They support the child?s intellectual, emotional, social, and physical progress by providing
a nurturing and safe environment with academic support, group and individual therapy, recreation,
and wilderness experiences. Schools also provide workshops for the parents so that they can
participate fully in their child?s recovery and personal growth. In the same vein, STICC?s families
receive the ongoing guidance and emotional support of a group of dedicated parents who have
already been through this process.
Success
The teen moves on to college or a job, with STICCy results that last a lifetime.

This word "aftercare" seems to be used a lot in this industry. I finally had to look it up and found this on dictionary.com:
Main Entry: af·ter·care
Pronunciation: -"ke(&)r, -"ka(&)r
Function: noun
: the care, treatment, help, or supervision given to persons discharged from an institution (as a hospital or prison)
Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary, © 2002 Merriam-Webster, Inc.
Seems odd that the programmies would openly talk about how kids are going to need treatment after the parents have already wasted all their money on the programs.
Even more odd is the common experience of everyone I've talked to who has been involved with a program: as soon as the parents stop paying, all "care" and interest in the "patient" ceases immediately. Maybe an email or two from a caring counselor asking "how are you doing?" but that's about it.
-
they spend so much energy on making sure you have staff that you connect with. In many cases, the student claims they are as close or even closer with their support staff than their own parents. After you are unleashed on the world with your new CEDU tools, you are alone. Yeah, with a little more support, care, aknowledgement, after CEDU, there could have existed a different relationship to the rest of society. What I'm trying to say is that if they did care maybe we could too. About the good things, and not hating them for leaving us out in the cold after we pour our hearts out to them in those bizarre workshops and all. I know that I would feel differently about the whole experience if there was a more gradual approach to leaving and reintegrating into the realer world. There just could have been a way to adopt decent principles from the place and avoid the prospect of ideological black and white thinking.
Oh. and only if I didn't learn to hate myself so much too. how did do that anyway? and why?
-

Yup. Those workshops can be a real doozie. Hey man: "Tell it all brother..." It works. They delete the old "you" and make you into the "you" you "really are". After a while you forget the old nasty evil old "you" and learn to love the staff who taught you how to "find" the real "you". After enough time you will even learn to bark on command and do tricks for the amusement of the staff. What better way to provide happyness to others than by humiliating yourself on command.
After you are unleashed on the world with your new CEDU tools, you are alone. Yeah, with a little more support, care, aknowledgement, after CEDU, there could have existed a different relationship to the rest of society.
What? You mean a relationship with openness and trust somewhat resembling the truth or reality? Don't you know, fool child, that the truth is a lie.
What I'm trying to say is that if they did care maybe we could too.
Do more research my dear child. Of course the cared deeply about you, and the (financial) love you brought them. Why else would they have wanted you to stay there so long? They needed to help you since you kept acting out incessantly, you silly goose. Why your parents are so ashaimed of you. It's a good thing they cared about you so much more than they did. Don't you know your friends they help you make and the staff who helped you discover who helped you discover your true self are your real family.
About the good things, and not hating them for leaving us out in the cold after we pour our hearts out to them in those bizarre workshops and all.
Why yes, the workshops were a delightful experience. I remember hearing from a kid who ran his friend's head over with a motorboat... Or the girl who liked to masturbate with spatulas. It was so cute. We used to call her "spatch". I think we all felt better after letting it all out.
After all that screaming in our faces, and the crying, i remember i was so happy to be fed and have a nice pile up on the floor with my loving councelor and the rest of my true friends. After all that self-discovery i was so happy to finally be allowed to eat and sleep. Why i could barely stand at that point. They showed me what love and true friendship was.
Hate them for what they did? Heavens no i would never do such a thing. I'm so grateful to my councelor for showing me the real me inside, and helping me to forget that evil bunch of lies that made up the old "me".
I know that I would feel differently about the whole experience if there was a more gradual approach to leaving and reintegrating into the realer world.
You should be grateful to go to an original CEDU school, child. Where I went (cedu clone) "gradual" meant being dropped on the streets once the parents ran out of cash. But I see their infinite wisdom in thier choices. What better way to show a new adult the real world. What better way to show love than by helping someone reach rock bottom, and then letting them build themselves up (or not, if you didn't remember what the program taught you).
There just could have been a way to adopt decent principles from the place and avoid the prospect of ideological black and white thinking.
But there is no gray my child. There is only black and white.
Oh. and only if I didn't learn to hate myself so much too. how did do that anyway? and why?
It's ok child. You're hating the evil old "you". You need to remember the friends they helped the new "you" to make, the councelor they helped you to learn to love. Oh but it is an eternal conflict my child, you must always remember the danger of relapsing into the old "you". Remeber the first step to recovery from whatever your "issue" was.
Why yes my child, ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, asburgers syndrome and -- any other issue you were there for, are all addictions and you need recovery which lasts a lifetime. Why else were you there? You would not have been there unless you truly needed help. Your parents did not know what to do with your acting out. After all the pain you caused them eventually stopped caring. Parents only have so much love you know. But they still love you at CEDU my child and would take you back in a second if your parents had any money left.
to who is reading this at a glance, in case you can't tell, THIS IS SARCASM!"

In addition to having a kid in a program?
December 28, 2005
Shaping Her World
Even parents of Watkinson student's take the school's mission statement to "shape their lives and the world around them" to heart. Current parent Theresa Wing Hines has begun a new venture that combines her innate artistic skills, her personal style, and her passion for making a difference in kids' lives. She has begun her own jewelry line, called One Pearl, proceeds from which will benefit two charities for children. First, the Saving Teens In Crisis Collaborative, an 18-month-old nonprofit organization in Sudbury, Mass., that was established to place disadvantaged youths, including children in Connecticut, in intensive long-term therapy programs. And secondly, The George A. and A. Jean Wing Fund for International Studies here at Watkinson.

One Pearl
Founded in 2004, One Pearl arose from the desire to increase access to educational and behavioral services for people who cannot afford them. Many whose lives could be improved never receive help, simply because of a lack of money. One Pearl's mission is:
To provide funding for organizations that promote health and education.
We accomplish this mission through the sale of pearl and semi-precious jewelry and handmade, imported silk products. One Pearl donates all profits to nonprofit organizations.

YOUNG GEMS FROM STRING OF PEARLS
HALF OF JEWELRY SALE PROCEEDS HELP DISADVANTAGED TEENS
Hartford Courant - Hartford, Conn.
By Colin Poitras
Dec 25, 2005
To understand how Theresa Wing Hines' One Pearl jewelry campaign to help disadvantaged troubled teens got its name, it helps to know how a pearl is made.
A pearl is formed when a particle, most often a grain of sand, gets into an oyster, where it is coated with layer upon layer of mother-of-pearl until it emerges as a smooth, lustrous "organic" gem, Hines said.
"The process is similar to what a child can experience when entering a transformative youth program, whether for educational purposes or due to a personal crisis," Hines said.
"Just as a particle becomes a precious pearl ... a child emerges from the right program as a transformed and enriched individual."
Hines' line of necklaces, bracelets and earrings, the sales of which benefit youth programs, features a single contrasting pearl -- either black or white -- as a reminder of the wearer's commitment to a child in need.
"One Pearl has enabled me to combine my love of travel and design with one of the most important lessons my parents ever taught me -- to help others, especially children," said Hines, who has two teenage children.
Hines' jewelry costs between $20 and $1,600.
Half the proceeds from the jewelry sales go toward the Saving Teens In Crisis Collaborative, an 18-month-old nonprofit organization in Sudbury, Mass., that was established to place disadvantaged youths, including children in Connecticut, in intensive long-term therapy programs.
Those programs can cost as much as $150,000 per child for an extended 12- to 18-month commitment. Many of the costs are not covered by insurance. The programs usually start with a few weeks at a rehabilitation center for teens grappling with substance abuse and character-building "wilderness" programs for those with behavioral issues. Each is
followed by therapy and counseling at a therapeutic boarding school or sober house.
The other half of the proceeds goes toward The George A. and A. Jean Wing Fund for International Studies at the Watkinson School, a private prep school in Hartford where Hines' son, Ian, attends classes. Hines started the fund, which is named after her parents, because she felt today's students aren't learning enough about the world.
Hines learned a lot about the world as a child, traveling to such places as India, Lebanon and Africa with her father, a professor with the Ford Foundation who helped start the graduate school of business at then-Dacca University in Pakistan.
It was in Dacca, now called Dhaka, that Hines' interest in philanthropy was born. She said she would never forget the poverty she witnessed from the family's private compound, where maids and cooks met her family's needs. The disparate economies had a tremendous impact on her.
"Outside there was an open sewer," Hines said. "Men bathed in it, drank it; they had no clothes. I will never forget the poverty I witnessed."
Always searching for a way to help others, Hines said she became interested in youth programs after hearing stories from friends about how their children benefited from the costly private therapy programs.
Hines said she was bothered that wealthy families were able to enroll their children and struggling families were not. She felt disadvantaged children should have equal opportunity and landed on the One Pearl campaign as one way to help.
Today, Hines frequently travels to distant places such as Shanghai to meet pearl dealers to design and promote her product. Keiler & Company, a Farmington-based advertising and marketing firm, has helped with promotional designs. The jewelry is featured at LaPerla Ltd., BK & Co. and Central Optica in West Hartford center.
Hines, whose husband David has done well in the restaurant business, says she has invested more than $80,000 of her own money in the project. She said that as her One Pearl initiative expands, she plans to reinvest about 10 percent of the proceeds into buying pearls and other materials to keep the line going, but will continue to volunteer her own time and absorb any overhead and travel costs.
Saving Teens founder John Reuben praised Hines' energy. Hines is on the organization's board of directors.
"She's a philanthropist in its truest form, flying around the world creating jewelry that is helping kids," Reuben said.
Reuben and Hines met through word of mouth in April 2005. Reuben started Saving Teens after seeing how his two sons benefited from private therapy programs. Saving Teens is a fledgling organization itself, having formed in June 2004 and only recently obtaining its nonprofit status. Reuben said donations have been steady and there is hope a child will be sent to a program soon. The organization is run by volunteers to make sure the maximum amount of donated money is used for the kids. The group's board of directors includes educators, educational consultants, mental health experts, wilderness experts and parents. Reuben, a software sales and marketing executive, said candidates will be chosen from referrals. Saving Teens has several educational consultants on its advisory board who have volunteered to help screen candidates at no cost. Saving Teens also works closely with the Adolescent Substance Abuse Program at the Children's Hospital in Boston. The program's director of pediatrics, Dr. Sharon Levy, is on the Saving Teens board of
directors. More information about the One Pearl campaign can be found at www.onepearl.net (http://www.onepearl.net).

The difference between a Residential Treatment Center, for example, and an Emotional Growth School depends on the different emphases each places on the use of Psychiatry, Therapy, Structure (he used the term Milieu), Education, and Recreation. For example, a Residential Treatment Center will emphasize Psychiatry, Therapy and Therapeutic Structure in its program, with only minor elements of Recreation and Education. On the other hand, an Emotional Growth School is basically a mirror image of a RTC, in that the emphasis is on Structure, Education, and Recreation/activity, with only a minor role being played by Therapy and Psychiatry.

As for the $100,000 GRANT
JUVENILE JUSTICE PROGRAMS
The Committee recommendation provides a total of $333,712,000 for Juvenile Justice Programs for fiscal year 2006. The budget request proposes to fund juvenile justice programs under the Justice Assistance heading. The Committee recommendation is $45,333,000 below the fiscal year 2005 level and $101,488,000 above the request for similar juvenile justice programs. The table below displays the Committee's recommendation compared to the levels requested under the Justice Assistance heading for the same programs.

Thanks for the info Deb. How legitimate is IECA? Is it truly an "Independant" educational consulting firm. I'm starting to doubt that. :lol:
Doesn't anybody check up on theses assholes (besides fornits posters)?

RE-POST of the OP (02 Nov 2006):
SAVING TEENS IN CRISIS COLLABORATIVE
Saving Teens Looks For Needy Families To Help
Thanks to the generosity of private donors and a grant of $100,000 from the federal government, Saving Teens In Crisis Collaborative (STICC) has raised enough money to begin saving teens.
STICC is looking for suitable families, who will be funded through an 18-20 month, long-term recovery program, including wilderness therapy and a therapeutic boarding school. Families will also receive support through the Saving Teens network of parents who have already gone through such a process.
To apply, the teen must be no older than 16 years of age.
Parents or referring parties must contact one of the following Educational Consultants who are working with Saving Teens:
Marilyn Engelman · 508-870-1515
Adam Goldberg · 508-320-2700.
Leslie Goldberg · 781-749-2074
Lon Woodbury · 208-267-5550

Don't Blame Me
I'm Just The Repo Man

It certainly makes one wonder ... just how tight Lon Woodbury is with this operation:

It sounds like you could use some straightening out at Straight, Inc. -By-The-Sea (http://http://www.fornits.com/SIBS/)! :D
They've even got their own forum (http://http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=6) here, in case you want to read about all the illustrious success stories, the dissenting banter, and nuggets of worldly wisdom from Drs. Fucktard and Miller Newton, et al...

I've heard tell that folks pay several hundred $$ ... for a mention such as the blog entry below ... in the informal barter known as "viral marketing." That's an old quote; the price may well have gone up and is, of course, relatively flexible depending on need and demand of the plug in question.
I wonder what the price is for so-called "charitable enterprises."
Did John Reuben engage in such barter? Or is Clive Maxfield just a "well-meaning email acquaintance," as the tone of his prose might have you believe?

Thought-Provoking Beans: Saving teens in crisis (http://http://www.techbites.com/201008122958/myblog/blog/z0022-thought-provoking-beans-saving-teens-in-crisis.html)
Written by Clive Maxfield · August 12, 2010
I just received an email from a guy called John David Reuben, who is asking our support for his forthcoming NY Marathon run in honor of his son Michael, whom he lost to heroin addiction.
John subsequently founded the Saving Teens In Crisis Collaborative (http://www.savingteens.org (http://www.savingteens.org)) to help other families struggling with this disease of drug addiction. This is a national organization that has helped families from New York to California.
In addition to individual sponsorships, John is looking for corporate sponsorships, so maybe you could pass this on to those who don the undergarments of authority and stride the corridors of power in your organization / company and tell them that they can find out more by watching this video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfLs4ZTh53A (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfLs4ZTh53A).

All three accounts were created on the same day - their sole activity viewing and commenting on this video.
It's nice to see you aren't saving all the sockpuppeting for fornits.

This is common especially if you are older. There are not many videos that are made by our generation on youtube. The guy probably let his friends and acquaintances know he put up a video and they logged in so they could comment on it and support his efforts.
"Hey, How can I make a comment?"...... "You need to create a user name and then log in."
None of the people I know scan through youtube videos making comments on them.

Wow $7000.00 John. That's enough to send one kid to one program for a month! You aren't accomplishing anything! Keep up the good work!

I was thinking last night, when I first came across Whooter's post (http://http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=19217&start=15#p380465) quoted above, "Gosh, John, the way you chose to post your "fans' comments" (font size, bolding) ... is pretty telling, eh?"

OH BOY, it is Ursus turn now to troll, Whooter.
I guess the meeting of the, "Benevolent Order of The Fornit Trolls" had their meeting at Ursus's last night and within there "circle jerk" had a epiphany, as Ursus explained in his post above. WOW, way to go brother bear.
You must have been elected to chair the, Fall Quarter. Don't let us down.

Sorry, Ursus, I should have been more sensitive. We all know that you like to be in control of what "comments" get posted here on fornits (from the various articles) and having choice of format is important to you.
I guess I was just wondering why you left them out this time (maybe not negative enough for you?). I will try to be more considerate next time. lol

I didn't post any comments 'cuz there weren't any ... on Clive Maxfield's blogfommercial. I didn't get around to the actual YouTube clip itself yet. Thanks for taking care of that!
Incidentally, lots of folks post article comments from time to time. They don't seem to have the same reticence towards it that you do, however! :rofl:

If you're alluding to evening events that transpire during New Warrior Training Adventures, that really would be your forté. I think you've pretty much established that I'm simply not man enough to appreciate these kinds of male bonding activities... ;D

No just your infatuation with Whooter, it seems your man enough for this attempt at bonding, err....excuse me trolling.
Why don't DJ, Robert and yourself, go have yourself a meeting and figure out who is man enough to break through this addiction.
Gather ya members and call them to order, Benevolent Order Of The Fornits Trolls, shall be heard now.....

Poe's Law.
When you can't tell satire from someone's perceived reality. Like when someone posts that the Earth is flat and god created Earth in 7 calendar days. Most people would recognize it as satire, but then there are those that really believe in young Earth creationism.
