Your troubled teen can save herself. This may not seem possible after everything you’ve tried to do for her, but it’s true. She just needs the right resources.
How the Right Resources Help
Resources need to engage your troubled teen. If they do not spark interest in her, she will not be willing to give it a chance. This is most likely the reason nothing has worked in the past. You may continue to search for resources that your teen can connect with to benefit from to change her life.
Therapeutic Boarding Schools – A Viable Resource
Therapeutic boarding schools are a wonderful resource for troubled teens. By being away from home, they are able to get away from all of the troubles they have around them. They leave their peers, who are constantly placing pressure on them. They also get to experience a different type of life that they never thought was possible for them. This taste of an alternative life shows them that if they choose a different path, they could end up having a better life than they have now.
Therapeutic boarding schools are an excellent resource because the work comes directly from your teen. By presenting this opportunity to her, she will be able to use it to benefit her recovery from all of the troubles she’s been struggling with up to this point. Parents are encouraged to be supportive, so that their daughter can feel as though all she is learning while away from home can be used when she returns.
Taking Control of Life with Improved Confidence
An increase in Confidence is one of the many benefits of a boarding school. Troubled girls learn they can do so much more than they thought when they see themselves participating in activities they never had a chance to in their life. They also see how far they are getting as they meet milestones and goals as part of the treatment offered at the school. This confidence is what will help troubled teens gain the strength to be able to continue on the same path when they return home. There’s nothing better than having a trouble teen leave boarding school and say, “I don’t ever want to go back to the life I had before I left.”
What many parents don’t realize is that boarding schools don’t only help the troubled girl, but they help the family as well. By helping the family, troubled girls can regain the trust they ruined and this can help them as they recover from the trauma they’ve put themselves in the past few months or years.
When you’re at the end of your robe, consider therapeutic board schools for your troubled girl. They give her all she needs to save herself from the current troubled life she’s been living.

Chase was very fortunate to start in this industry as a struggling 17 year old kid looking for a mentor and something to be passionate about. Wilderness therapy was Chase’s first stop in this industry and was truly a transcendental experience for him. Chase has an enormous love for this line of work and the power that it has in creating change in everyone involved. Chase’s biggest belief is the power a mentor, strong, healthy relationships, and accountability can have on anyone, especially youth. Taking a very relational approach to his work, Chase has always been very relatable to the students he works with. Being able to understand and relate to a vast variety of the same struggles as a lot of the students he works with has been able to help him continue to grow, learn, and teach. Chase believes that with great rapport and trust, he can use his experience to continue to coach and train new staff, and has the ability to find those staff with the passion for this industry, and help them grow. His love and passion can be felt the moment you talk with Chase about this industry and he passes that on to others he works with. In his spare time you will find Chase cheering for the Eagles, Yankees, and Mavericks, hanging out with his brother, learning more about Eastern Psychology, and continuing to grow and learn.
