"Intervention" Program
Anonymous:
Weren't "Interventions" used as a form of "punishment"?
HLA states in their response to the lawsuit "punishments" never happened.
Opinions? Experiences?

Yes. There were punishments. This is where HLA is going to get bit on the butt. They use the term "consequences", but in reality they are using the term incorrectly. What often happens, by definition, is a punishment. There is just more of a negative conotation with the word punishment, so they don't want to use it.
I have never heard of a "shadow" crisis intervention. I know that HLA has had some wilderness trips that were offered for students who were doing well. The kids were trained as first responders in wilderness first aid. It was pretty popular. I don't think it was called a shadow trip though. I don't know if they still do those wilderness trips.

they had nothing to do with each other...there was a "super restrictions" which i think got changed to "intervetions" if i remember correctly...they could be totally different things but i know that both terms were used and i think that they were the same thing...could be wrong though...
the other wilderness things were for "good behavior" and were a lot of fun initially then they started not having enough "good" students and had to fill slots that were reserved and i think those last ones were kinda sucky...
but again, i could be wrong...

You are right and wrong.
Super Restrictions and interventions were two different things. SR was facilitated by HLA staff and not as intense as an intervention. Interventions were facilitated by RCI and from what I understand extremely miserable experiences.
You are right about the positive wilderness trips. I know some were very popular, but others kind of sucked because the truly positive kids were not on them.

Boy the old time tc's used to call this crap "negative reinforcement". When I hear of it happening today it makes me forget who I am just for a moment and go down there beat the livin shit out of somebody, then rationalize it by saying it's only a consequence of you abusing kids.
