An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

I too am a former student of VVS.  Troubled when I got there, graduated with honors went to college, then a masters degree working as a therapist and enjoying life without trouble or emotional turmoil. This is thanks to VVS.  I am in communication with many staff and students of the VVS community and yes, was alerted to this denigrating post via my friends (staff, parents and students alike) whom all have positive VVS experiences to reflect on.  We are here to offer testimonial.  I have known Phil for the entirety of my adult life.  A life that is largely due to the developmental nurturing that came from the therapeutic program culture of Valley View.  There is absolutely no abuse going on there.  Phil is a devotee of the field and a leader and innovator with proven results as one of the finest therapeutic residential boarding school in the United States.  Do your research.  Unfortunately a small few of the clientèle do not align with the model due to the realities associated with pervasive mental disorders. However, VVS has a reputation of producing major lasting changes in the students they serve.  In fact, the large majority of student flourish as a result of the model.  There have NEVER been any charges related to abuse of any kind at VVS, once again...do your research.  

Many of the other posts from VVS community members include their names and contact info.  Mine is below.  If you truly want to resolve your anger, why not get out from the anonymity you are hiding behind and state your name and contact info.  Or are afraid you claims would disintegrate by doing so.  

Anyone may feel free to contact me if they want to know more about my experience at Valley View.
