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.

Let’s talk about success!

The media has been paying much attention to the failures in “adolescent treatment“.  From Boot Camp to Residential; there are horror stories of abuse and death.  It’s unfortunate that they are not taking as much time to define what these programs are vs. what they aren’t.  Even more troubling is that no one is taking the time to seek out the the overwhelming number of success stories.  Well, we are…

Of course, we could tell success stories.  Our stories would also highlight the value of having an Educational Consultant on board in the process BEFORE placement, but we want to hear from those who have these positive experiences…anyone?  We know you are out there…lets start sharing the other side of the story!
