WeHelpTroubledTeens.com

WeHelpTroubledTeens.com is a unique directory of troubled teens schools and programs offered to you by Zion Educational Systems. ZES exists for one reason, and that is to help the parents of troubled teens find the perfect school or program for their child. What is unique about WeHelpTroubledTeens is that this directory will only list small, yet powerful (quality), schools and programs. These smaller schools and programs for troubled teens struggle to compete against the big marketing machines of the troubled teen schools owned and operated by huge corporations. If you have done a simple Google, Yahoo, or MSN search on the term “troubled teen” you will easily find the big corporate owned schools who throw hundreds of thousands of dollars at search engines to dominate the top sponsored positions. Ninety-five percent of the available schools for troubled teens cant afford to pay for the sponsored spots. Therefore, parents cant find them.

Moreover, if you have not noticed there are only a few schools dominating the top 10 placements on the search engines. These huge corporations (corporate owned schools and programs) have money to burn on Internet marketing (Search Engine Optimization) and subsequently choke off the smaller schools and programs. Additionally, smaller schools just can’t afford to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars per year on Internet marketing like the bigger school conglomerates can. (Place the name of the site here) is a cooperative and collective effort by several “smaller guys” who are putting their efforts together to compete against the bigger corporation. The important thing is this… now parents will be able to find the smaller schools that offer quality services for less cost. Now the little school with the small marketing budget will be able to market their services to parents who normally would never know that they exist. The outcome…. Parents and families win!

Therapeutic Wilderness programs are powerful options for parents of troubled teens seeking answers to their child’s out of control behavior. Most wilderness programs are designed to be short-term interventions with the goal to gain insight and understanding to why their troubled teen is acting out. Most wilderness programs are really assessment courses where the therapeutic process uncovers the underlining issues that are driving the troubled teens to act out. In most cases the wilderness program refer their graduates on to long term therapeutic programs where the student can receive treatment for the issues uncovered during the wilderness trek.

Wilderness programs are not substitutes for therapeutic treatment-based programs. Meaning, some parents want a quick fix. For example, if your son or daughter has drug and alcohol problems a wilderness program will not provide the treatment they need. In cases of drug and alcohol abuse issues a wilderness program can help the child to “open their eyes” and accept the fact that they need treatment, but the wilderness program does not provide the treatment they need.
