I hear crickets.... this is what I thought. As far as my research has told me (only one days worth, mind you) HLA is living up to the requirement: "Say what you do and Do what you say", in the counselor department, anyway.
I am not for or against HLA nor affiliated with them. I am just trying to get an idea of how they stand against requirements. Are there state requirements we should be looking at?

Deborah, I forgot to put the little "Cat-in-the-hat" symbol at the bottom of the post on the previous page. If you could add it that would be nice. It use to be my daughters favorite story at night along with "Green eggs and Ham". Its a good reminder of why we are all here, "The kids". I just have to come up with a new log-in name and then have the little guy appear automatically.
Thanks

It appears you mixed that up with their employment page. HLA is looking for a counselor with a masters degree in a related field
They are also looking for assistant counselors with a bachelors degree. So not all counselors are required to have advanced degrees but they are all educated in the field. Do they advertise elsewhere that all their counselors hold advanced degrees? I did not see that.

yes, they do advertise this elsewhere. i researched this for the lawsuit and i found no less than 30 sites on which HLA advertises itself as having "42 Masters Level Counselors" and that all peer group counselors hold a "Masters degree or higher." of course, these are all lies, but hey, they're just tryin' to make a buck!
this has been well documented on Fornits. you can search the threads for it.

Hidden Lake Academy (HLA), located on a 215-acre campus one hour north of Atlanta, helps young people make significant gains in emotional maturity and academic achievement. Integral to the HLA program is an equal emphasis on the college-preparatory academic curriculum and sudent's therapeutic work. The Hidden Lake Academy staff cooperate to help students develop all aspects of their lives: physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual. The 10:1 student to teacher ratio ensures individual attention and a return to academic success.
Typical students exhibit oppositional-defiant behavior, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, deteriorating family relationships, and are making poor choices. Students typically graduate Hidden Lake Academy's therapeutic program with a greatly increased ability and motivation to make decisions that will positively impact their lives.
Hidden Lake Academy utilizes a detailed, sequential therapeutic program which allows for a high degree of program accountability. Each group consists of 14 students and is led by 2 Master's-level counselors. Students participate in three group counseling sessions per week (7 hours). In addition to group therapy, an addictions education course, planned and staffed by specialists in this field, is included in each student's experience. A wilderness component-consisting of a series of exciting and challenging experiences including day hikes, adventure trips, rock climbing and rappelling days, a ropes course, and canoeing is carefully integrated into a program. A staff chaplain provides ample opportunities for spiritual development for students of all faiths and coordinates extensive community services projects and numerous off-campus trips. HLA competes in the Atlanta Athletic Conference. Studens participate in basketball, volleyball, baseball, soccer, wrestling, tennis, softball, golf and track. Sports are balanced by strong Drama and Fine Arts Departments.

You heard crickets because, unlike you, most people have a life outside of Fornits and are not going to sit around on a Friday night posting on this site. Loser.

Don't include yourself in this "we" you speak of. You have nothing to do with helping kids and you most assuredly have nothing to do with Fornits and why it's here. Why are you here?
