Poor Holly.  She certainly won't get any lessons in telling the truth at Hyde, land of double-speak.  "Truth" at Hyde is only when it is convenient or inconsequential, ie., when it benefits them.  Not exactly what those of us in the real world think of it as.

Kids, be careful!  Those administrators at Hyde are really ethical misfits masquerading as grownups!  A suit from Brooks Brothers does not a human being make!

Is Mark Murrell the one who is responsible for building up Hyde's website?

Hmm. But a "200% increase in admission inquiries" seems to have failed in increasing actual admissions...

It would appear almost everyone coaches something or other while they are on staff there... I guess it's cuz you're being "coached for life!"

Update on George Posner's gig, Educational Consulting Services:

They've partnered with the "aftercare" program Homeward Bound; see this Family Front thread for more info on that program. Homeward Bound founder Tim Thayne and at least some other H.B. personnel appear to have the Aspen program Outback Therapeutic Expeditions (formerly known as Walkabout) as well as TBS Maple Lake Academy in their backgrounds. (Homeward Bound / Family Front are not very forthcoming about their employees' career specifics.)

ECS is a small EdCon group based in Syracuse, NY and Salt Lake City, UT. Three people are noted on its website. ECS founder is George Posner, former Hyde School parent. Judging from tracks left on the internet, I would say he has tended to favor Aspen programs (and Hyde, I'm sure). More info on the third post in this here Bitts and Butts thread (see above), and on the EdCon forum.

Despite economic downturns, many families across the country are still in desperate need of help for their troubled teens, and a new partnership between placement and consulting firm, Education Consulting Services (ECS), and after-care experts, Homeward Bound, offers these families the assistance they need to achieve greater long-term success.

“We have been impressed, as many of our clients have been, with Homeward Bound’s professionalism and positive outcomes,” said Dr. George Posner, founder of ECS and director of eastern services. “Many of our families have credited their teen’s successful transition home to the aftercare support they received as a family from Homeward Bound. We believe our partnership will allow us to further improve the overall outcome for ECS families.”

Through this partnership, ECS will be able to custom-design comprehensive aftercare plans for its clients with the help of transition specialists at Homeward Bound. All ECS clients will receive a complimentary subscription to Homeward Bound’s online collaboration, communication, and parent education tool called The Family Bridge. Other available aftercare resources include in-home coaching, 24-hour professional support, and parenting seminars.

“The Family Bridge is truly innovative,” said Sarah Finney, a licensed marriage and family therapist and director of western services at ECS. “We’ve never seen anything like it and are excited to offer this feature to every family we work with.”

In addition to offering greater success through aftercare treatment and support, the partnership between ECS and Homeward Bound may also help to make treatment options more affordable for families.

“By including intensive in-home services and multi-systemic support as an option within the overall treatment plan, treatment lengths can be shortened,” said Dr. Tim Thayne, founder and CEO of Homeward Bound. “This makes the placement of troubled teens in out-of-home treatment settings more financially feasible to a larger number of families than ever before.”

For more information about Homeward Bound’s aftercare services or its partnership with ECS, contact Tim Thayne at Homeward Bound.
