The Isolation of Parenting a Troubled Teen.

Parenting can be really lonely. When our children are young, the feelings of loneliness and/or isolation are offset by the excitement of the high expectations of the great things to come. When those great things turn out to be difficulties academically or emotionally, phone calls from other parents or schools and teachers to notify you of some behavior from your child that is shocking, it can become more lonely and isolated than ever. When your friends, family or co-workers are celebrating their children or teens milestones and you are just hoping to get through the day without a phone call from the school or police, day to day can become brutal.

At Bodin, we suggest that you talk to a professional, take care of yourself, your marriage and other relationships that will keep you from making important decisions for your child based on isolation, loneliness and fear.

An Educational Consultant at Bodin can help. Our consultants have worked with thousands of families over the last 29 years to develop strong educational and treatment plans for families in crisis and for students who are not thriving. Check out www.thebodingroup.com

Bodin Utah

The View from Utah

What are the benefits of having an office in Utah? Where do we begin?

As most of you know, Bodin opened an office in Salt Lake City in July of ’07.

Over the last 6 months we have been able to expand our Bodin wings and cover some serious ground.

During our time in Salt Lake City, we have seen a tremendous number of programs. This opportunity alone allows Bodin to keep up with our ever changing and growing industry. It allows us to maintain a close relationship with the wonderful individuals who staff these programs and personally visit our kids currently placed in these settings. This provides an extra layer of customer service and the opportunity to spend more time with the students and families that we serve.

We are constantly reminded of Utah’s amazing open spaces and outdoor opportunities. The wilderness settings in Utah and near-by states provide an incredible backdrop allowing our students to flourish. We are now able to be in the field the same day that we leave our office.

Bodin has been fortunate enough to also help families that have students currently placed in Utah programs that are in need of a step-down program. As we know, time is precious during a family’s journey, we have been able to quickly meet students, begin coaching parents and advocating for their child. With the Utah office close by, we can help many families efficiently design and execute a plan based on their child’s specific academic and emotional needs.

We at Bodin are very excited about being in Utah. It has been a privilege to watch these students grow as they reestablish a new path for themselves. We feel that it will only enhance our knowledge base as well as our customer service. It is our plan to continue to maintain relationships with current programs, build relationships with new programs and continue to provide excellent customer care to our students and families in need.

Thank you all for your continued support and we look forward to working more with you.
