They're definitely connected with WWASP. Scroll all the way down to the bottom, click on "resources", then click on "Teen Help Options" and voila, WWASP!
Their purpose? To help parents find places to send their troubled teens, of course. Never mind that most of those parents could do a find job by improving their parenting skills and getting some local help. Nope, the idea is to turn your kid over to someone else. Give them full control. Stranges? That's OK, just trust them. They can make your kid whole. Right? Wrong!
Scroll on the left side of the page to "Boarding School Directory", then click on
Troubled Teen", the top one - WWASP, then click on the 2nd one, WWASP, the next one is for Sorenson Ranch. The one below that is probably WWASP too, just a hunch. Then last one is a pregnancy site telling girls they are courageous for giving their babies up for adoption. I wonder just what happens when these babies are given up. I wonder who gets $ for these babies, and I wonder how many girls are convinced to give up their babies who otherwise might have wanted to raise them themselves. Just something to wonder about ... WWASP runs such a program in Southern Utah. New Beginnings.
The new thing now is "Positive Peer Culture". Many programs are using that instead of "Behavior Modification". And that's because Behavior Modification has gotten a bad rap. It will be interesting to see if Positive Peer Culture will mirror behavior modifcation. Same book different cover, as with eveything else in this industry.
I just noticed this site promotes Provo Canyon School. Now, that's damn scary. Provo Canyon is known as one of the most abusive. Just do a search on this site and you'll find out quickly what has happened in that place. Pretty scary.

Anyone consider advertising their website on this site? All the "pro" programmers are doing it, what about the "anti" programmers joining in. I wonder how much it costs??? Might be worth starting up a fund and posting all the pertinent websites so parents could see the other side of the story.
And by the way ... if this site were so concerned about troubled teens, then why are they not putting up warnings about programs in the industry? Why are they not warning against places that restrain kids? About programs that have been proven abusive?
It's all about the same thing it's always been about - $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
