When parents have made the decision to place their struggling child in the care
of a school or program the obvious question is often, “how can I get the
child to the help they need”. Teens struggling with addiction, depression,
compulsion or defiance to authority are generally resistant to their parents
efforts to get them help especially of it means leaving their comfort zone.
Parents are often confronted with a wide range of manipulative behaviors when
they attempt to intervene, including bargaining, threats of harm to self or
others, playing one parent against another and emotional blackmail. Intervention
can be emotionally draining and, at times, physically dangerous for parents.
Our agents are well trained, experienced, and strictly follow procedures that
have been well tested for success and safety in escorting struggling teens to
their intended destinations. We communicate with our client parents, both, before
a transport to prepare for a successful experience for both the youth and the
parents, and during the transport to assure the parent that things are under
control. We want the parents who entrust us with their children to have the
assurance of safety and a job well done.
