What is a Troubled Teen?

Most people would use that term to describe the kid down the street known to have troubles with the law or who has a history of using alcohol or pot. For the Educational Consultants at Bodin, we see troubled teens who do fit the typical idea of a troubled teen, but who are not thriving for many reasons other than substance use and troubles with the law. We work with adolescents, young adults and families who need guidance developing appropriate and individualized plans for academic and emotional growth. We have developed relationships with schools, programs and individual resources throughout the country in order to ensure that a plan we create will be successful. Much of our work is with the families in order to maintain the plan and not fall prey to the common parenting pitfalls that can interrupt or setback these plans.

What is an educational consultant?

Simply put, and believe me the services Educational Consultants provide are not simple; Educational Consultant’s provide services to families with young children to young adults who seek expertise about the educational and social emotional options for their children.  At one end of the spectrum is the traditional educational consultant who will assist families in looking at day schools, boarding schools and college. At the other end are those consultants working with the special needs child, students who have behavioral or learning issues, or both.  Everywhere along the spectrum, many families need assistance in understanding their options, facilitating the process, demystifying the chaos and creating a plan that gives the family and the student peace of mind that they are not alone.
