Educational Consulting Services
Every young person has the right to thrive, and has the right to learn the necessary skills needed to reach their fullest potential. Sometimes, a combination of various factors prevents a young person from reaching their potential or their immediate safety may be of concern. I work with families, psychiatrists and other medical professionals, counselors, social workers, school personnel and lawyers when a young person may need specialized help and their resources within the community are limited.
Often families and other professionals may go by word of mouth or a general internet search when choosing a treatment placement. While both these are important aspects of any research, it is often not enough when looking for an out-of-home placement.
- While numerous programs are available throughout the country, it is very important to find a program that is the right fit for the client’s needs.
- Touring the programs, learning about their clinical programs and meeting current clients gives me the knowledge that I need to help recommend programs that are an appropriate fit for the client’s needs.
- I am not affiliated in any way with the programs I tour and/or recommend. I do not accept any payments from these programs for placing a client with them. I work for and represent the client’s interest only.
