My Greatest Discovery!

One of the amazing discovery for me is to have known ANASAZI Foundation. ANASAZI is a residential treatment center that uses troubled teen program as youth teen boot camp alternative. Recognized internationally for its caring and effective approach known as the ANASAZI Way—ANASAZI is an intervention resource for parents and professionals who are reaching out to help a child making at-risk choices.

ANASAZI Foundation is a non-profit (501c3) JCAHO-accredited and licensed behavioral healthcare provider for teens, young adults, and their parents. The wilderness therapy, residential treatment, outpatient services, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation services at ANASAZI have been found to be helpful for adolescents experiencing entitlement issues, substance abuse and addiction, mood disorders (i.e., bi-polar, depression, and anxiety), self-harming behaviors (i.e., cutting, eating disorders, and suicide ideation), attachment disorders, oppositional and defiant behaviors, academic challenges, and learning disabilities (i.e. ADD, ADHD).

The ANASAZI Way…

  • Individualized Care
  • Facilitating a Change of Heart
  • Healing and Strengthening Family Relationships
  • Spiritual Walking
  • Invitation to a New Beginning

Note: ANASAZI is not a boot camp. Participation in an ANASAZI program requires personal responsibility and accountability; however, no force, contrived experiences, manipulation, confrontation, point or level systems, or other behavioral modification techniques or models are employed. See "The Making of a Walking" video for results.

Amazingly there are vast of people having the same intention of helping alot of youth to make that 360 life turn around. There are these groups who believe that its possible to make such changes, from a very bad person to a successful artist, businessman, and even a youth adviser! “Mission Possible” that’s what they call it.

The new thing that i am excited about is the www.MyTeen.org that is also dedicated to helping parents and teens through their “Top TEeN Videos” exclusively researched to provide fun, helpful and informative videos and “Teen Program Authority Links” highly recommended and proven efficient in terms of teen health development and behavioral change.

The Return

With some of this and all we stumble upon resources out there, what really is the key for one to make the change? It’s a question that has no definite stroke for an answer simply because all individuals are unique, from their needs, culture, belief, faith and values. But i am sure there are ways that are far lesser risk for parents should they decide to enroll their troubled teen with any of the behavioral change society. We have boot camp, religious schools, rehabilitation center, juvenile camp and more that are deviced by men for helping our precious youth, but in my experiences with these institutions, seeing friends, relatives, and even to my very own family member left damages more than help or even end up killing our precious teens unless these institutions are truly dedicated to their cause more than what money has to offer and truly understand every facet of human nature that society would like to change.
