Programs for Troubled Boys and Troubled Girls
Programs for troubled teens are used to develop success, leadership, and confidence in your struggling teenagers. Programs for troubled boys and troubled girls work to improve and develop self-esteem, opportunities, knowledge, cultural awareness and well being among troubled teenagers. These types of programs assist teens in navigating long-established systems to get what they need to meet their personal and community goals. We actively help troubled teens to empower themselves by participating in civic dialogue, community activities, self-exploration and development.
In these programs, your troubled teenagers participate in a variety of interesting and challenging activities. Some programs provide the chance for our troubled boys and troubled girls to learn how to play an instrument, learn a new sport, or join a theatre group. In other more academic programs, troubled teens learn to work with computers, how to ask for help when needed, or make a difference by volunteering in their communities.
Some other programs offer recreation activities including: martial arts, hip-hop dance, visual arts, mentoring, field trips, academic tutoring, computer lab, sexual education, lifeguard training, and scuba lessons. This type of program is great for that troubled teen who is looking for more confidence and self-acceptance as well as a sense of being centered and calm.
Programs for troubled teens are dedicated to providing young people who have chemical dependency issues, dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders, and/or behavioral problems with the highest quality of professional care available.
Every program is unique. Each has its own operating philosophy and format, destinations, starting/ending dates, duration, age group, group size, direction, accommodations, activities, and cost. With that said, it is very important that the parents of troubled teenagers do their research.
