--- Quote from: "chuckAluck" ---yo. whats up. i went to benchmark for over 2 years. the counsilors, thats what we had to call them when i was there, dont know shit. coaches?! half of them could coach young criminals. dont get me wrong, some of the people there are all right. but the company and the way they conduct their buissiness is just plain wrong. not to mention technically illegal. :ftard: i just thought that was kool.

Were you there recently?

chuckAluck came on the shout box around the same time that he/she made that post. My memory might be failing me on this, but I recall that the period of time they spent at Benchmark was 2004-2006.

Theresa Valade,  A "Pathway Family Center" associate ( on the NWI Board Of Directors) lists "The Growth Coach - entrepreneur and principal partner of a professional coaching enterprise" as her occupation.

Seems like another CULT - tie to me. She is probably a program parent also.

Here is the Growth coach website:

I just thought it interesting to the topic of coaching.

According to a cult expert I consulted, "coaching" is the new thing when it comes to getting away with practicing "therapy" without a license.

They told my parents right off the bat that they where people who had delt with our issues, and though they had psychologists (brian was one when i was there) they where not certified. In all honesty, i learned alot from them. Some where completely full of it, and where pretty lousy, where some gave me advice that i use to this day. Enlight of that, i remember some of them having troubles. I know tom got busted with a 24 pack of beer and was fired. I think Don went back out again. Not sure on that one. I think most where genuinly concerned and wanted to help us out. I also think that the tough love approach was warented on some of us. Some of us just did not function well in society. Some of us where so negative that it was hard to be around us, while others where legit drug addicts. I do feel that i was coxed into alot of things...AA, NA, etc... not that i didnt benifit from them, but looking back, it did kinda mess me up, and point me in the wrong direction. The only problem i have with the 'there not therapists' is that most of us had therapists. They where either easy to manipulate, were people you just talked to, or tried to cox you into things and misdiagnose you. I've had a bad therapist, and would of traded him for the worst of the staff (IMO Tom) any day.
