CAFETY's facility list of over 1,200 programs

(1/4) > >>

Reddit TroubledTeens:
Brian Lombrowski and his team have worked very hard to come up with this list. Note there is a 'Rating Rubric and Program Types' tab at the bottom where he explains the 'Website Danger' column and reasons why programs were included.

This is what Brian said when he posted it to facebook 6/29/11:


--- Quote ---So this is not yet a finished product, and if anyone would like to help with developing the research on this, I would be more than happy to give you access, just message me. Just a few notes as you read through the document.

1) This is not a facility "Watchlist", this is an attempt to define the "Troubled Teen Industry" in the context of all types of institutions that serve youth. Inclusionary criteria include the presence on the websites of Educational Consultants (presuming that they do business with the Ed Con field), documentation of taking youth from multiple states other than the states that they are located in or in states that are not "border" states, and programs that are part of a larger corporation that have congregate care facilities in multiple states. Exclusionary criteria included facilities that served older adults. There are a number of facilities for which it was very unclear if they should be on this list or not, primarily programs for individuals with developmental disabilities and regular boarding schools.

2) In the first column, programs in bold have been closed, there are probably programs that are not bolded that have also been closed. Programs closed since 2007 have been included in this list, before 2007 have not (hence none of the CEDU programs).

3) The column on "Website Danger" is a rough scale from 1-10 based on red flags that are obvious from the website. There are tell tale signs of what a Teen Help or Aspen website look like, then there are programs that adopt those marketing techniques, and programs that don't. This was a somewhat scientific way of trying to measure it.

4) There is still a lot of work to do with this, and while program descriptions are fairly accurate, it's one column that I can't vouch for 100% accuracy (as in the boundaries between an RTC and a Therapeutic Boarding School are as blurred on this list as in the real world)

I hope you enjoy it (if enjoy is the right word), and I hope that you take something from it. If you have any questions, just shoot me an email and I'll try to respond as quickly as possible.

Is there a version of this list which does NOT require extensive browser and/or OS-supplied whistles and bells? I am unable to access this list.

Reddit TroubledTeens:
Try this, it's a list view:

I'll copy/paste the list. It will look horrible but at least the info will be searchable here.

YV23:
The first list booted me offline. I haven't had that happen since my AOL days

blombrowski:
Here's the Excel File.  Hope it works.  Please keep in mind the limitations of this list, let me know how you think it could be improved.  Thanks.
