[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 239002, member: 1514"] They may not be offering wilderness camp...me and his therapist found that on our own through the NC Baptist Childrens homes here. I cant even say that it did a whole lot of good but it didnt hurt him and he liked it but they took him off all his medications and did only behavior mod. He looks back fondly on that time. He actually looks back fondly on most of his time away...lol. I really started getting out of home placement like group homes after I got him in a special program for at risk youth through Mental Health. It was called Willie M. back then but the name changed a few times and I have no idea what it is called now. It was a court case about a kid that fell through the cracks. I called the top of Children and Family Services and told them my kid was falling through the cracks and that he had all the criteria for admittance to Willie M. (which really was Conduct Disorder) but I couldnt get him in and that I needed him in so we could access services in this county. What that got me was that this program said they would build services around the client instead of just sticking the client in whatever was available. Nice concept but not really what happened all the time but something I tried to make work. I used the wording as often as I really had to but not too often so I could pull it out when I needed the big guns. Cory went into that program at 13 and left it at 17. He still sees people that worked with him from time to time and they really are amazed to see him. His daughter is beautiful, he takes good care of her, he is polite...he could be worse. [/QUOTE]
