Help attention be drawn to an industry that profits from the
inappropriate institutionalization of youth and uses unethical
programs to train its members!
If you have attended any of these programs listed below or any of
these individuals,
please email Executive Director or IECA expressing your outrage and
sharing your
personal experience, and actions his organization plans on taking to
address the
inappropriate role educational consultant's play in determining the
course of treatment (or abuse) for youth.
Ask him why one of the presenters is discussing how to convince
parents they need
to keep their child in a program longer, rather than respect the
wisdom of youth and child - (Presenters on the topic: Jeff Holloway,
Hidden Lake Academy and Matt Erickson, Logan River Academy). Ask him
how he plans on hold ensuring are not being sent to abusive,
ineffective, and unethical programs.

There was actually a bit about this in the latest Village Vision (http://http://www.peninsulavillage.org/VillageVision%20Fall%202008.pdf):
Bob Pegler, CAS, Program Director, will present at the fall 2008 Independent Educational Consultants Association conference in Baltimore, MD, in November. The title of the presentation is Motivational Interviewing: Moving Beyond the Myth of Treatment Resistant Adolescents.
Can't be able to make it to the protest, but I wish everyone good luck and am looking forward to seeing good reports back!

The amount of kool aid that is going to be poured at that conference is mind numbing.
"Treatment resistant adolescents" ? Are you fucking kidding me?
The only things adolescents aren't resistant to are cell phones, brittney spears, junk food and going to the mall.
I'd love to attend this protest but can't make it. I hope there is a decent turnout.

The Myth of Treatment Resistant Adolescents. That's odd. PV's always billed itself as "helping treatment resistant adolescents", now they're a myth, like PV's "record of success". The level of relapse in PV's former patients is becoming a pain in the ass to the program, and the man to thank is Bob Pegler the CAS/program director. Glad to see PV is sending the pick of the litter to represent them.

I'm reminded of that movie Animal House where the Dean is whining about the Animal Frat Boys having cadavers delivered to the Alumni dinner. This would so be the worlds best prank to pull on an IECA conference. Well that and pissing in the fruit punch.
