Wilderness Program For Teens Rescue Youth

Eckerd Academy is a licensed, accredited therapeutic boarding school in an outdoor setting that specializes in helping students discover innate natural strengths and achieve their maximum potential. They specialize in helping students who continue to struggle despite participating in other school or community-based counseling programs. At Eckerd, teens who were once considered troubled or at risk gain the skills and confidence necessary to transition into real world success.

Most of the programs listed on this website are not regulated by the federal government, and many are not subject to state licensing or monitoring as mental health or educational facilities, either. A 2007 Report to Congress by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found cases involving serious abuse and neglect at some of these programs. Many programs advertise on the Internet and through other media, making claims about staff credentials, the level of treatment a participant will receive, program accreditation, education credit transfers, success rates, and endorsements by educational consultants. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, cautions that before you enroll a youngster in a private residential treatment program, check it out: ask questions; ask for proof or support for claims about staff credentials, program accreditation, and endorsements; do a site visit; and get all policies and promises in writing.
