Hi there..I got your posting. I hope that I can be some more help. It really helped me whether I was an addict or not. John Mercer was actively involved. He really helped me and my family work through some very hard challenges. He wasn't there all day, every day, but there were other teachers very involved in our every day lives. John is strong and very intuitive. He can sense when something is going on. He is harsh sometimes, but he would never let anything bad happen to anyone.

My high school diploma was acepted in California where I live and a few other states when I was applying to college. The school is very active in preparing us for college. I am going to Cal State Long Beach and I live in the Southern California area. I have been there for three years and will be graduating with a degree in Child Development and Family Studies in two years. I am very happy. :smile: I was already finished with my junior year when I went to MMS. I was in AP classes and doing well. I had already done a lot of the college stuff. Hope this helps..let me know if theres anything else.

Jessica

My name is Emma Casale, formerly Emma Cunningham.  I attended MMS from November 93 to August 95.  I credit MMS with not only saving my life, but with teaching me the skills to live a happy and healthy life.  Not only did MMS help me, but they helped my family and continue to do so nearly every day.  It is my opinion that MMS is the only school that works.  My brother has been in over 10 therapeutic boarding schools, none of which were able to help him.  I have been drug and alcohol free since November 93.  I have sorted out my relationships with my mother and with my bipolar father.  I graduated high school in 1996 and began attending Johns Hopkins University that fall.  I graduated from there with both general and departmental honors as well as having been selected to join Phi Beta Kappa.  I have been married now for five years and have managed to deal with the severe mental illnesses of two of my siblings.  I would have been able to accomplish none of this without MMS and the dedicated staff there.  No one should doubt the effectiveness of their program and anyone lucky enough to have a daughter enrolled there is blessed.

Amazing how different each person's experiences are. Simply amazing! I guess it depends on your threshold for pain and where you came from. If life at home was living hell with a parent with serious issues or from a home of abuse then any place might seem better. Still important to remember many experiences appear to have been abusive and negative at MMS.
