I have a child who was a troubled teen before but then with the help of residential treatment programs she improves a lot and she has a right direction in her life. Now she knows how to appreciate life and excels to her studies.
Before this past week I wasn't really sure if boot camps worked or not, however after being on one as a councilor helping youth, I've seen major results and I've seen youth go in rotten and come out fresh, I believe they can help all youth.
All programs for troubled teens works but there are just specific teen conditions that needs special care that a boarding school or residential treatment centers could not help them. So parents needs to get involve more on selecting the right program for their troubled teens. As parents we only want our teens recover from this troubled situation they are in. I recommend this article to parents in selecting a program to help for troubled teens.
Nowadays kids and teens who are addicted to drugs need a proper psychiatrist or doctors, in australia past recent days there had been a lot of cases where teen were found consuming drugs and needed medicians but due to lack of doctors they didnt got good treatment due to which government has opened lots of hospitals and nursing homes and have announced medical jobs australia within all the nations
Hi
I am seriously considering boot camp/resisdential treatment for my son, 13. I havent turned up that much of use on Google yet. Could I ask the Dads below, fhaye for example, who mention some experience of facilities in the UK to drop me some links ?
Thanks

There are number of helpful programs available for parents of trouble teens, like therapeutic boarding school, teen boot camps, specialized ]troubled teen boarding schools for mental disorders, wilderness therapy programs that can help them treat & educate well.
Hey bullyman is there anything in the UK that you would recommend?
Institutions and organizations like troubled teen boot camps is a great way of training and developing your kids, I like this idea because they have specifically designed programs, curriculum and plans, they have a lots of helpful programs available for parents of troubled teens, you can be sure that you're children is getting the best of what you're paying for.
While handling teen tantrums need to self-control else situation might be out of control. The teen should be taken in confidence to explain him about the teen issues.
Another vote for boarding schools for troubled teens. I consider this as one of the best options to help troubled teens since they really offer programs and activities that is effective to change the behavior of the teen and his/her view in life and in dealing with problems.
You can check some information about boarding schools and see which program works best for your children. Take note on how to select the best boarding schools and check if their programs and activities best suit for your child.
