Look at their website:
http://www.benchmarkyoungadultschool.co ... e&Itemid=1Our young people are referred to us by educational consultants, psychologists, psychiatrists, other emotional growth schools and by parents who know our work.
Despite their best efforts and intentions, families who seek to place their
ADULT CHILD in our school have come to the realization that assistance is vitally necessary.
At Benchmark, we understand the emotional toll the situation has caused. We do our best to help students achieve success in our program and to help families adjust to the changes. We strongly believe that with support and an abundant supply of ?
tough love? from parents, family and friends, our students are more likely to successfully complete the program. In turn, this will bring about emancipation and the rewards associated with that process.
Once the student has enrolled in Benchmark, we invite parents to join us for our
Parent Seminar, a two-day workshop that provides families with an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding and orientation of Benchmark Young Adult School.
Parent Seminar introduces the Benchmark curriculum and our counseling philosophies. We provide insights into
parenting young adults and teach new skills for families to utilize when interacting with their Benchmark student.
Finally, we show that the role of the parents and family can positively change as the student gains his or her independence through new found skills attained at Benchmark Young Adult School.
And, their contract.
