The Troubled Teen Industry / Positive Impact??
« on: May 01, 2004, 12:45:00 PM »
Hi, I have been following this post since i first put it up, and I am not a "troll" as someone suggested it I really do have a brother that is going to Positive Impact.  There has been a lot of beneficial information posted, but my problem is convincing my parents that this Positive Impact poses some potentially mentally abusive charactieristics in its programs.  Does anyone have any suggestions about fomulating an outline a plan to do this?  I just don't know that much about therapy or "behaviour modification" to see red flags.  

Does anyone know a good article talking about the effects of these sorts of therapies.  Preferably not by someone who could be construed as a "radical activist" as my parents would say, but a neutral observer?  Thanks for all the help.

John

Does anyone know anything about a school called Positive Impact in Bahia de Kino Mexico?  My parents sent my younger brother to Second Nature in Utah and after that he is going to Positive Imact for 14 months.  I am worried that it will turn out like one of the WWASP programs.  Interestingly there was a WWASP program that was closed down for abuse called "High" Impact and was listed as having been in baja (same area).  I am wondering if WWASP just recycled the program under a new name and fake company, like was done with Coral Reef Academy.  Any help would be greatly appreciated...he leaves in 3 weeks.  thanks
