[QUOTE="Rotsne, post: 220961, member: 6326"] Because he agreed to enter the wilderness himself and the program is time-limited there is a potential for success. But remember that Bob Bacon went before congress because his son died as one of many. After this death and a couple more one state (Utah) introduced laws to protect youth in wilderness programs. But the latest death in Utah happened in 2007 where a youth who was sent out there due to depression caused by the death of his brother committed suicide. But even with these death, I believe that wilderness therapy works, but the purpose of the stay has to be planned ahead. If Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is the next step, then inform the teen in advance and adjust the program to that. Many of the adolescents in the program deliver a hard work during the wilderness program and then they are sent to a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) just to start over. Also as pointed out in previous posts even the best wilderness programs in the world cannot fix the problem. Every change has to come from inside the teen himself. In Denmark they have statistic over almost every youth because it is normal for more than 90% to attend some kind of full time care before school. Even the worse teens grows up. For females they generally begin to think about family once they turn 18. For boys they are some 5-7 years slower. It doesn't matter how youth try to correct them. They just grow up. In the recent years many girls are injected with a [URL='http://www.praeventionssiden.dk/pr%C3%A6ventionsformer/P-stav-1.aspx']P-stick, which is a 2 cm[/URL]. long stick which are sending out hormone and prevent pregnancy for 3 years. Some girls are given one aged 12. If I had a teen, who wanted to do a wilderness program, I would stay until they had done the search for contrabands, which is very stressful if they like mine have not undressed themselves in front of strangers. The intake process is everything. One other thing I would take of in advance would be to agree on a stop word. A fake aunt or something, which I would not would be a cry for help. Sometimes the staff would order a rewrite if the letter is too negative. How would they communicate if they are mistreated? Having said that I hope that this boy will make it and benefit from it. I would pray for him. [/QUOTE]
