DOES MY CHILD REALLY NEED THIS? DO I REALLY NEED THIS?

Take this Quiz to find out!

After being a parent for 18+ years and working with families with troubled adolescents for the past 5 years, I understand how hard it is to even consider sending a child out of the home. An associate of mine compiled a checklist for parents to utilize to help them see if they really need this type of treatment. I spoke to a father the other day that told me that after reviewing this checklist, he realized that he truly needed the help and that the programs that I offered him were his answer.

I wanted to make this checklist available to you to reassure you of the choice you may need to make regarding your own family.
