Second Nature Wilderness Program Provides 75% Scholarships For Saving Teens Kids
Second Nature recently announced their support for Saving Teens saying::
- Second Nature is proud to offer a 75% scholarship to children that have been approved and
funded by Savings Teens for a long term recovery program. We do so because we value the
Saving Teens methodology. This begins with their comprehensive evaluation which insures
that the kids we are providing scholarships for are a good fit for our program. Once they
have completed their wilderness component Saving Teens funds a longer term therapeutic
environment, like a therapeutic boarding school. We think that this commitment to aftercare
for our clients gives them a much greater likelihood of eventual success. Saving Teens also
recognizes the important role the family plays and provides funding and emotional support
for the parents during the process so they can attend workshops and have someone to talk
to. We feel this is another essential component for success. Finally, Saving Teens requires
that the parents contribute to the process financially, according to their need, and that they
commit for the long term program of 18-24 months, to strongly discourage their removing
their children.
Overall we feel that Saving Teens has created an excellent model for recovery based on
real world experience. This gives us great confidence that the large financial commitment
we are making will be rewarded with troubled teens transformed into functional, happy,
young adults. We hope that we can be an example for other programs and schools by fully
participating in this very important initiative.
