The Ridge Creek School / Hidden Lake Academy / Who Laments on How He'd Run HLA.... Aspen Style

If they are under the weekly supervision of a Licensed Therapist then they are okay with the state.  Call the Secretary of State to make sure if you want to.  If it weren't true, this would be the first thing ORS would have hit them with.  They would not have even gotten a provisional license.  

There is plenty to jump on HLA about, this isn't one of them.  The one thing you can get them for in this area is hiring people with Master's Degrees outside of the field of counseling and passing them off as counselors.  That has happened pretty regularly.

How many can a licensed therapist supervise?


To be honest, I don't know if there is a limit or not to the number someone can supervise.  I do know that there are some private therapists whose entire practice is devoted to supervising non-licensed.  Good question though.

Just posting it again so the question doesn't get lost in the shuffle...

Which Peer Groups were not overseen by Masters level counselors? Name the group number and the counselors of those groups.

My apologies for not logging in previously.  I posted this question, not "the who".

Thank you for your response.

The Troubled Teen Industry / Is there ANY program that is genuinely therapeutic?

I understand your need to feel like you have tried everything, especially with him getting closer to 18.  It is scary.  It sounds like you have done a lot to help him already and it is probably irresponsible for those on this site, myself included, to tell you what to do having never met your son.  Speaking in general terms I will say that programs can do a lot of good, but my experience has been that the further a child gets from the 14/15 year old range, the less effective programs become for a child.  Again, this is a generalization.  My advice would be to talk with your therapist (maybe a few therapists) about whether or not your child needs a program.  It may be that a program is the right choice for your child, but it could also be that you have done everything that is likely to help and you have come to the point that you have to let go and let him make his own decisions.  Again, get advice from your local therapist before taking advice from anyone on this board, including myself.

You can feel free to pm me with any specific questions you have.

You still work at HLA don't you?


Nope.

The Ridge Creek School / Hidden Lake Academy / Why was Mansfield's Family Eating on Campus?
« on: June 08, 2007, 02:11:04 PM »
All I can say is that in MY experience I never had a parent express anything but pleasure over the fact that me or my family were on campus eating, or doing anything else, that was interacting with the students.  You are right that it was rare that parents ate in the dining hall, but there were often parents coming through there on tours while we ate.  The admission people would often point out that families come on campus to eat with the student body as a selling point to the parents.  I am actually surprised that folks on this site are not saying that HLA allowed it to happen in order to manipulate families into thinking it was a family atmosphere.

Are these posts definitely coming from Dahlonega?  Is there a way to tell if they are coming specifically from HLA?  If so, that narrows down who it is to someone living on campus.

 All I know is that my little sister was sent there almost 2 yrs ago and that was the last time I saw her or heard from her. She's not getting my mail, as none of the small checks I sent her were cashed. I can't call her, they just hang up on me or pretend to take a message. The sad part is that my sister never did anything wrong, never once got in trouble, never suspended, arrested, never talks back, never even got a detention at school. She's being punished for being born, as her (our) crappy parents don't want her. The lack of contact is ridiculuous and cruel. How is that therapeutic?


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++





I copied this from the HLA thread in the TTI forum.





This is absolutely fucking heartbreaking.





Truth, can you find out what's going on here and see why this kid can't talk to her sister?  Maybe she can PM you?

"




What about this????"


Absolutely have her PM me.  None of this sounds familiar, and it would surprise me if it were true, but I would be happy to look into it.

SHH-  Just stop.  Please.  Can you not see that RB loves to bait you into arguing with him.  You just look stupid when you engage in his rhetoric.  Please, just stop.  Simply don't respond.  Answer the questions that you want to answer and don't engage in the trivial BS that he pulls you into everytime.  Let it go.  Drop it.  Ignore it.  He is playing games with you and everyone here seems to see it but you.  Please, for the love of all that is good and right in the world, just STOP.

The Ridge Creek School / Hidden Lake Academy / Did You Receive a Psychiatric Evaluation at HLA?
« on: February 08, 2006, 04:06:00 PM »
I disagree with you.  Behavior modification is only a part of the program.  There is MUCH more to HLA than behavior mod.  To say that HLA is only a behavior mod program is a gross distortion of the facts.

It is very possible that he did counseling in a prison.  I almost wrote that on my last post, but I was not sure that I was remembering correctly.

There have been three headmasters at HLA-
Rudy Bentz, Greg Lindsey, and Charles Cates.  None of these guys have been prison guards.

Since the parent never identified themselves, I don't know if they ever even came onto campus.  HLA has parents visit all the time.

Isnt that the case for the majority of the time HLA has been open?



Only recently (according to you) has there even been testing, prior to that...nothing. "


You are correct.  Mostly.  There was some testing done, but not to the extent that it is done now.  I would say that it is now a very big part of the work we do.  In the past it was done on more of an as needed basis.
