This is my website...
I was there 89-91 at Cedu RS.
Some of the people in my pictures below were in Discovery in 91. So it's possible they might have been in Source in 93.
91-93 marks a CRITICAL time at Cedu RS.
A few points of interest.
- Tim brace leaves and Bill Valentine takes over. (Very different leadership styles and directions, not to mention Bill was a raging alcoholic!

Given they were both there at the same time, it sounds like Jayne and Bill Valentine would likely have known each other.

--- Quote from: ""Roy"" ---Fake Ph.Ds abound - one, Rich Geiger, (PhD in theology - previous experience as a mental health technician) - (you don't even need at BA for that). He used to run clinical services for CEDU in the Northwest and the current CEDU National Director of Family Services has one. Ever heard of Bill Valentine and California Coast College. They no longer offer PhDs at CCC, but lots of CEDU managers have them still. Many got them with no previous degrees and with qualification based almost completely upon work experience at CEDU rather than academics.

Apparantly bill is also executive director of the "Pretty Shield Foundation", a 501c "non-profit":
--- Quote ---Pretty Shield, a highly respected medicine woman of the Crow Nation, had visions of the future and of the trials that her posterity would face.
Her insight has inspired the establishment of the Pretty Shield Foundation, dedicated to helping youth and families overcome the challenges that today's society presents.
The Pretty Shield Foundation (PSF) administers programs so powerful that they define a whole new level of results in the transformation of troubled youth, their families and their communities.
PSF is a 501(C)3 organization comprised of three divisions: American Indian Division, General Services Division, and the Fund Development Division.
PSF offers wilderness treatment programs, emotional-growth boarding schools, equine therapy, and residential treatment centers for at-risk youth and adults of any ethnicity, dedicating proceeds to Native American causes, scholarships, and other worthy foundations.

OOH... and Listen to this blurb on one of the schools of this "non-profit":
--- Quote ---Spring Mountain Academy
Spring Mountain Academy is Pretty Shield Foundation's emotional growth boarding school. Located in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains overlooking Mount Pleasant, Utah.
The 12 to 18 month curriculum provides accredited secondary and college prep academics.
Equine Therapy is central to the emotional growth portion of the academy, with each student training their own horse under the direction of master horsemen and the nations only Ph.D. in Equine Therapy. ::roflmao::
Other experiential therapies include ropes courses, high adventure activities, community service, art and music.
Traditional therapy at Spring Mountain Academy makes cognative the lessons learned through experiential therapies and academics, weaving them together into real-life applications.

From their "Fund Development" Division:
--- Quote ---The Pretty Shield Foundation is funded through private donations and grants.
Start-up capital is used to purchase the land and build the emotional-growth boarding school campus in Mt. Pleasant, Utah, and the family therapy campus in Torrey, Utah, also to fulfill the contract to acquire a highly reputable and successful wilderness program. Construction of the campuses is slated for completion in the summer of 2005.
The ensuing revenue from program operations allows for reciprocal donations* on behalf of contributing parties who assist in the start-up phase of the Pretty Shield project.
*maybe this has something to do with all those donations the IECA pays out to programs (remember that pie chart). Do any of these "reciprocal donations" end up in the hands of ed-cons? Because "reciprocal donations" sounds a little like what Sue Scheff had going on with her generous program friends.
As an IRS designated 501(c)3 organization, all contributions to the Pretty Shield Foundation qualify for all of the tax benefits of charitable contributions.
Individuals and organizations that provide funding, are participating in the noblest of causes::unhappy::, for they are empowering Pretty Shield Foundation to boldly confront and successfully fulfill the needs of at-risk youth across the nation. As these youth emerge from the revolutionary PSF program as healthy, productive leaders, they will over time, positively affect the life quality of millions of people for generations to come.
An Executive Summary and detailed Business Plan are available for interested parties.

501c, heh... Well. I'm not a financial person so there is probably somebody better to look into whether they deserve their non-profit status... HEY... I got an idea. Let's play the IRS game. The first person to find proof of tax fraud gets a free coffee mug!
