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 consultant whose ethics are 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 Education Consultant or a call center with hundreds 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.
