Theresa...your posts read like a combination of sales brochures for Hyde and the typical manipulative style of a program graduate (I graduated from a similar program from a similar time). People here have expressed their personal concerns and you either questioned their validity (i.e. parents asking about the exercises) by stating that the parents must have been out of line in some way or another. Other than that...your responses are so canned that if I were one of these parents trying to converse with you I would begin to wonder if Hyde has created/hired some sort of "Bot"/person to answer questions on it's behalf here on Fornits.
You say that you only came across this site while looking for a logo for T-shirts. Did you really expect to find one here? Does Hyde not have one on their website?
I have got a great idea...if you want to prove what you say...you have read numerous concerns and complaints from people on this board...yet the only response that you throw into the pot is that they were somehow wrong/came off the wrong way...or you will help them draft a letter.
well...start drafting...post it here for all of us to see...apparently if anybody complains they are saying the wrong thing or saying it at the wrong time...well...show us how it is done...show us a complaint letter that addresses the issues that people have problems with and that actually changes things at Hyde.
You are not offering much of a solution to the problems that these parents have experienced...therefore...you must be part of the problem.

If it's such a bad place than why are so many teachers former students?

It says a lot about your character that you played along for three years and had the gall to accept a diploma. For many people, including me, a diploma represents a person's integrity and people like you demean that immensely.

They do have two people who are mental health counselors that work as subcontractors at the school and both of them are excellent resources.

Our daughter spent 4 months at Hyde during the Fall of 2004. We pulled her out after Christmas and sent her back to her old school. Hyde was helpful in forwarding her transcripts to her school. Her old school did give her credit for her classes at Hyde. So we had no problem in that end. Hyde also did not give us a hard time about pulling her out. Of course we did not get our tuition back.
There were several areas which concerned us with respect to Hyde. The quality of education is lacking but that was not the reason we sent our daughter there in the first place. We sent her to Hyde for her behavioral issues as many parents do. We hoped that they could help her. What I did find was that Hyde is not a therapeutic school. But they try to act like one. They ask families to bare their souls and disclose at times, painful stories in FLC's. The students are constantly in groups dealing with issues. But they don't have the counselors to deal with this in a healthy, safe manner. Using unqualied, young, inexperienced facilitators, I feel, is dangerous. I was very concerned about the age and experience of the staff. I think that many of the staff have their own issues and did not interact with my daughter in a positive,constructive, healthy manner. I do agree that Hyde is run like a cult. My daughter felt like she could trust no one.
I am happy to say that the time at Hyde straghtened my daughter out, but it was not because of Hyde's positive influence. My daughter knew that if she didn't get it together she was going to a therapeutic boarding school and would be gone for many more months. I think that I wanted to send her to Hyde because I wasn't ready to take the "therapeutic boarding school" route at the time. I thought that Hyde could be a satisfactory alternative. It is not. I would not recommend Hyde to prospective parents and students. I don't think it offers a healthy program to help teens in crisis.
