I don't refer parents to programs. Plain and simple, when asked I refer them to look at checklists on how to determine whether a program is safe, professional, and as non-invasive as possible. I occasionally when pressed give a few names of programs that have been around for a long time without incident, but mostly just outpatient stuff and respected licensed therapists and psychologists. I also tell them about some books they might want to pick up, like the teenage liberation handbook and some John Holt books so they can better understand what it is like to be a teen. Teenagers, especially older ones are caught in an endless legal limbo. The law says they have virtually the same rights as an infant or a dog, but the same laws also hold them to a higher standard of behavior than their own parents. Its legal in most states for an adult to have sex with a 16 year old but that same 16 year old can't even see an R movie without a parent.

Antigen - Is Safe Orlando the only 'SAFE' that is assocated with Straight?

Reason I ask:
SAFE Alternatives - 45N (for those who self injure) * c/o MacNeal Hospital * 3249 W. Oak Park Ave. * Berwyn, Illinois 60402 * 800-DONT CUT * 800-366-8288 * Website: http://www.safe-alternatives.com/
SAFE Mailing Address: SAFE Alternatives * 7115 W. North Ave. PMB 319 * Oak Park, Illinois 60302

The above is on a web site I frequent, and I'm wondering if they need to be filled in on SAFE, if this Safe Alternitives is assocated.
