I would just like to say that, despite any awful things that anyone has to say about the Carlbrook School, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN THERE. They may have had kids that went there, or friends with kids that went there- but THEY may not have experienced it THEMSELVES!
I enrolled in Carlbrook in October 2004- The school had been open almost 9 months and I was student #52. The next19 months saved my life. Everything from the close and personal attention from faculty to the amazing relationships that I developed helped me transform from the out-of-control, depressed little girl that I was (at 15) to the sober, responsible, motivated woman that I am now. I highly HIGHLY recommend Carlbrook for kids ages 15-18 who just seem lost in the world. Either they have been hurting themselves, have no social decency, don't listen to their parents, or just don't seem to be happy with anything that is given to them. The "emotional growth" aspect of this school is mainly what I miss the most. Some of the greatest moments of my life are those in the groups, workshops, or at random times when I made a connection with someone. I love Carlbrook and am COMPLETLEY willing to talk to ANYONE who has any questions. Also, please listen to whatever else you hear about Carlbrook very carefully. It is important to hear from the people who know- those who were there and graduated the program............
