TroubledTeenSearch.com’s mission is to help families through the matrix of schools, boarding schools, camps, boot camps, and programs for troubled teens.  It is our desire to see parents experience a positive outcome using the Internet to find schools or programs for their troubled boy or girl. The biggest issue that we must overcome is the fact that most parents that contact us are in crisis.  Additionally, there are so many schools, programs, and child placing agencies, which tend to overwhelm the parents who are in crisis. The combination of the family’s crisis and the overwhelming plethora of options of schools and programs is the reason why parents need a free service like TroubledTeenSearch.  In addition, we provide the parent in crisis with a professional “parent’s coach”, assisting, supporting, and helping the parent to find the right solution for their child.

TroubledTeenSearch.com is dedicated to the parents of troubled teenagers, offering unrestricted access to schools and articles for troubled boys and girls. With Restoring Troubled Teens you can find the school or program yourself (see our gigantic listing of schools) or you can request information for specific school(s) of your choice, or use the free support of our parent coach who will help you find the right school or program. With Restoring Troubled Teens you stay in control, and you make the choice. Our web site gives you access to the best information, and then offers coaching services if you want them.

Troubled Teens Search

When a parent finds themselves looking for a choice in the search for a program for their troubled teen they often unsuccessfully stumble upon unscrupulous people, firms and agencies. It is not always easy to tell the difference between someone trying to take advantage of a desperate parent’s search for help (& swindle them) versus a professional whose ethics is beyond reproach. The Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) & the National Association for Therapeutic Schools and Programs (NATSAP) have blasted this practice of exaction in which parents are led to enroll into a "perfect for their child" program and the voice on the telephone and their associated call center get a big kickback in the form of thousands of dollars.

One quick way to determine whether the voice on the phone is a professional is to get an exact address of the person/office with whom you are speaking. This can help determine whether you have reached a professional or a call center with dozens of people soliciting parents of troubled teens just like you. Now, this can sometimes help eliminate the first wave of dishonorable people but by no means is it a fail-safe. You as the parent must go further in your search.

The next step is to obtain and check the voice on the phone's credentials, certification, and diploma(s) before signing any contracts and certainly before allowing your child to attend their "perfect" teen program.

Here at TroubledTeenSearch.com, we can help save you money and save you pain and suffering . Our School Specialist, will help you to obtain information, double check references, or scrutinize illegitimate sounding schools or programs.

Brenda McDowell will visited an accredited school and program in the troubled teen industry before referring that school. Brenda will leave no stone unturned in her examinations. If she does not know the troubled teen school or program intimately, she won’t refer a child. Troubled Teen Search is an affordable option, which is uncommon among professional services of our industry.
