Connecting Parents With the Right Therapeutic Boarding Schools

"Dear Sue, I just wanted to thank you for your willingness to help my family. I don't know where we would be right now if I hadn't found your organization's website. I even told my therapist about it, so she can recommend it to other desperate parents! Thank you again for your help."

"Dear Sue, I cannot tell you how appreciative I am for your help. I was feeling so alone and powerless with what has been going on with my son. His entire life has been sleeping all day, skipping school and going out to hang and get high with his friends. Nothing else interested him. I looked up boarding schools on line and their website..."

"Dear Sue, I wanted to follow up on this and other messages and thank you for all of your help with us getting [name withheld] placed. The Covid-19 issue wreaked havoc, but recently our son went to Utah for a two-week quarantine and is now taking part in his first week at [name withheld for privacy]. He has a good attitude and all of the s..." Read more

"Sue, Thank you for being there for not only me but for the many parents/ caregivers that are searching for answers and proper treatment for their child. I believe that we are on the right path (in my situation) yet will certainly reach out again (to you) should things take a different path."

"Thank you so much for the information. Your web site is wonderful!"

"Sue, I have used your website extensively and have integrated your suggestions when looking at different school programs. Thank you for your interest and for the help you provide to those looking to make good decisions regarding our children."

"Thank you so much for all that you do. It really matters!"

"Oh wow!! Thank you so much for your help. I'm looking for state funded schools and will contact the resources you have provided. Thank you so much and have a blessed day!!"

"Donna, I truly appreciate your help with providing resources, but mostly appreciate your empathy and honest approach to counseling me. It was helpful to me."

"You are truly a blessing to me. Thank you so much for being there for me. You are an angel to many, you know that? Think of all the lives you have already touched. You are amazing!"

"Dear Sue, Thank you for your quick reply. I contacted Marie today and she was wonderful to speak with. We are looking into the facilities she suggested. Thank you so much for your help."

"I really enjoy speaking with you and cannot thank you enough for all you have done."

"There’s not a day that goes by that my husband and I are not grateful for finding your website and being able to speak with you when we were in crisis. Making this decision was so difficult knowing it would affect our daughter’s future. We were at a point that if we didn’t do something we knew she may not survive the year. Speaking with y..."

"Sue, Thank you for all you do to support the parents who are walking this difficult road! May God bless you in all you do!"

"Sue, Thank you for your input, it is much appreciated. It is always good to hear valuable feedback. Setting reasonable limits (which is always a challenge to determine) and at the same time being calm, non-emotional and loving is the biggest challenge of all I believe. Also difficult, is to perceive the way a fourteen year-old (or whateve..." Read more

"We spoke with you last year when my son was getting really bad with his attitude. With your help, we ended up sending him to an excellent therapeutic school. It has been quite an amazing experience with ups and downs, but thanks to you and the program, our son is doing much better and has a bright future. Thanks again for all your time an..." Read more

"Dear Sue, We had been researching straight for the last 3 days and on and off for months. Thanks for helping us get the information we need to help our daughter. It has been nothing but frustrating and quite frankly, frightening, until we found your site and spoke with you."

"Sue, Thank you so much for this very detailed information, especially at a time when I feel like our family is falling apart. It is a godsend to have words of encouragement and solid support for ideas to get us back to normal. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!"

"Dear Sue, Since we last spoke, things snowballed quickly and I had to act fast. He had moved from weed to pills and was out of control. As a mother my heart was shattered to see him like that but he is safe now thank god! His actions made it slightly easier to make this decision to SAVE HIS LIFE! I truly believe we barely made it. So, I j..." Read more

"Our 16-year-old daughter just graduated from her therapeutic program two months ago. I am not sure you remember us, but you answered the phone when we were panicking about placing our daughter when we were in a crisis. Your information was priceless. Our daughter loved animals, yet we didn’t realize through these difficult times that this..." Read more

"Hi Sue, I really appreciated talking to you. The understanding alone made me feel better."

"Sue, Thank you so much for your guidance. You will never know how much comfort you have given me."

"Sue Thank you for the very, very prompt and humane reply. You are a credit to your profession. God Bless You."

"Sue, Your books, blogs, and interviews show what a great mother, thinker, and caring person you are. You are a shining example of a parent whose done the hard work. Jean Tracy"

"Dear Sue, My goodness, thank you for your detailed and informative email. At first I was reluctant to write to P.U.R.E. because I thought there was some gimmick involved, that I would be solicited for whatever reason, or my name and address sold on some mailing list, and be besieged with phone calls. However, after getting your informativ..." Read more

"Dear Sue, I felt the need to write you this short letter. First off I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for enlightening me to the bad experiences of so many children. Last week I felt like I was at my wicks end with my daughter, it seemed that everyday there was another problem with her. So I just got on the Internet de..." Read more

"Sue, Thank you so much for helping us parents navigate at such a difficult time!"

"Hi Sue, It was really refreshing talking with you today. I felt better after we hung up. Thank you!"

"I am not sure you remember me. You see and hear so many people, that I am sure it is hard to remember everyone. My wife and I spoke with you over a year ago concerning our son that was refusing school, using drugs and overall failing in life. With your help we learned about options that, with all our internet searches, didn’t seem to be s..." Read more
