Second Nature Wilderness Program

Of the 6 or so kids I knew at 3 springs who went to Second Nature it didn't work for them either.

Well, TSW, I don’t think you would expect to. Many times the reason a child may move on to a residential or Therapeutic program is because the wilderness was not effective for them. So many of the kids who were successful would have gone directly home after their wilderness experience.
Other times the wilderness experience is used as an assessment period to determine what may be the best next step for the child, i.e. going home, going to a TBS, boarding school etc.

That is funny that you should mention that because of the 6 all of them were there on the reccomendation of Second Nature.

In the immortal words of Lex Luthor: WRONG!
NOBODY went home from Second Nature. It didn't matter in the least how "successful" or not they were. In two durances, nobody went home, because they wouldn't have gotten more cash from it.
...of course, it didn't really matter because none of them were successful. They just created new problems and passed them off as such.
