Pathway Family Center has three sites, two in Indiana and one near Detroit and it took over KHK in Ohio.

The Phoenix Institute for Adolescents (not Phoenix House) in Atlanta is a Straight-spinoff but I don't know if it still exists or what and have never seen anyone post about problems there for some reason.

Growing Together in Florida closed.  SAFE, also in FL, either closed or is very tiny.  

There were at least one, maybe two supposed Straight spinoffs in Utah, but nothing has been heard lately about them.  One was called the Proctor Advocate, the other was Turnabout/Stillwater.  These may still be open.

And Love in Action-- a program using the Straight method on gay kids-- in Tennessee has apparently been either shut down or turned into something that only last two weeks.

I don't think there are any others?

I was in Proctor in the 90s and they shut down.  I hope these programs don't continue they really are emotionally tramatizing to kids

Growing Together in West Palm Beach is NOT closed.  It is still going strong some 20 + years after opening.

I actually went to the Lake Worth location over the Christmas holiday and found the building as empty as Dachau, however I received some information about a location in Rivera Beach where they supposedly moved to, which I intend on taking a little drive tonight to see if any life exist there.

I will post my findings tomorrow whether they are open or have closed that location as well.

any new updates? on any straight-like programs in Florida? I think the one in Atlanta is a bit different...I think some Christian group took it over.
