Thank You

"Dear P.U.R.E., I just saw a documentary from when you won the freedom of speech case. I now see you have done better again. I was horrified by what I saw and inspired to write to say how wonderful you are. I was also impressed by how brave people in the show were."

"Sue, I know we have a long way to go, but we have started on the road and your help was greatly appreciated!"

"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."

"Dear Sue, Thank you for replying to my cry for help'. I spoke with Lorraine a few days ago and I found her to be understanding, knowledgeable, upfront and more importantly a parent who cares."

"Sue Scheff gave us honest information about programs that helped our extended family find an appropriate placement for a teen relative going thru a difficult time. She guided us gently in the right direction and helped every step of the way. She never pushed her opinion or gave unsolicited advice, but she was available when approached. Sh..." Read more

"Dear Sue, I was lost and confused. My son was hospitalized and I never experienced this feeling of being lost to help my child. Then our Psychiatrist gave me your name and organization.

"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 P.U.R.E. You certainly were helpful. I still have my daughter at home & we are trying to work things out. She is basically on house arrest. I am grateful that I bumped into your organization or I might have made the same sort of mistake that the founder did when I found the less expensive option. Before I spoke to you specificall..."

"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

"Thank you again for your kindness in helping parents get a glimpse of joy."

"The dog therapy my son experienced at his program changed his life. He still has his Labrador today. It has taught him responsibility and accountability. He has empathy, respect, and most importantly self-worth. He even started a dog-walking and sitting business in our neighborhood. I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge of a..."

"Dear Sue, I wanted to give you an update. Our daughter is at [name-redacted]. The first month or so was quite traumatic for all until the first family weekend when we saw her and then things seemed to settle.
