Facebook groups show that kids are really great full?

<< < (3/9) > >>

E.M.B:
I understand but why is everybody on this site completely against the idea of a good and helpful residential treatment facility? I mean yes there are A LOT of bad places and traumatizing to say the least, but what if there is a place out there that can help? Is anybody open to the idea..? I am not a troll I am just a parent at a loss for what to do.

Mmm. New Haven must be catching on to the fact that ... refresher koolaid doses do pay off in the long run. The damage control, as far as public relations go, make such efforts and expense worth every cent!  :D

Please. Check out any therapeutic or "emotional growth" boarding school mentioned on this forum. Many, if not most, perhaps even *ALL*, have "alumni weekends" or similar such venues, if not even more involved and coercive methods and means of extending the program "experience." Carrot and stick, more carrot after you "graduate."  For some of these programs, it's a means of increasingly the likelihood of the next generation's enrollment.

One thing that *I* find more than a bit unnerving is how New Haven RTC managed to get so many alumni involved in naysaying HR 5876, Rep. George Miller's bill to federally regulate private residential schools and programs. Two discussion threads on the above linked FB group, New Haven RTC (in utah), PLEASE SUPPORT TREATMENT FACILITIES and Letters to Committee on Education & Labor, expressly exhort New Haven alumni to lend their personal voice to a NATSAP cause. OP from that first thread:


--- Quote from: "Kristin" ---New Haven is shortly going to be sending you a letter asking for your help in creating balanced testimonies so that the Committee on Education & Labor can understand the need for and benefits provided by treatment facilities. For more information about this cause, please see this group:
http://utah.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8533307987
Because we are students, new to careers, to just because we're young adults, our addresses tend to change a lot. New Haven may not have your most up to date mailing or email address. Please let me or New Haven know your current address so that we can send you the information so that you can help this important cause. Information about how you can help and send letters can also be found in the group linked above.

Thanks so much!!

The above referenced FB group, In Support of Therapeutic Treatment Facilities, regardless of how you feel about the issue of HR 5876 or its descendant/renamed entity HR 911, is clearly an industry marketing and PR ploy, and promoting its agenda on a FB group ostensibly geared to serving the needs of an RTC alumni population is beyond the pale as far as therapeutic ethics is concerned.

Geeezzz. Just what does this say about the so-called professional "therapeutic ethics" of New Haven RTC?

E.M.B:
Okay, so what do you guys recommend doing for my daughter? I honestly think having her at home is just not safe for her or us anymore, it is getting out of hand because she won't take her medications! What other things could I do or place her in?

Pile of Dead Kids:
Get her on this forum. I'll scare the living shit out of her in thirty minutes, tops.

Your daughter needs to be in a psychiatric hospital where they give her medication.  She will die if you don't take immediate action.  Do you want her blood on your hands?
