i will be graduating soon so I am glad to leave this place, but feel sad for those who are behind me still there. Change ), You are commenting using your Facebook account. The reason your site is flooded with all these kids (or possibly one outraged one) is because they have found it, and have links from their sites. http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/f/ferguson_forest.html. It is a small school that focuses on the education of its students. We as a society need to wake up. If John left Carlbrook right now and remained as he seems to be, arguably he’s ready to leave. For parents considering Carlbrook, I recommend this comment, from another Carlbrook parent:Anonymous, August 24, 2010 at 8:42 PMIt's not all rosy, as no thoughtful comment should be. I've been amazed several times at the steps they take -- things I'd never even think of. CB students are ALL highly intelligent individuals... who suffered somehow and their parents would literally do anything to help them recover. He did, they found them, etc. I'm very glad Carlbrook is shut down. I'm a Carlbrook parent, and have written other comments. The school closed in 2015 after teenagers became adults and began to speak out against it. Like many CB students, my child has never used drugs, but, as a result of plummeting self-esteem, was involved with other kids who were seriously detrimental to his health, life and family life. Aren't they all troubled to some degree? Courses help prepare students to enter college. The campus is absolutely 100 percent drug free. In the last year or so, though, they've added an "in-house" woods program, for kids (including my son) who've done something that doesn't really call for being sent to a third-party woods program but nevertheless does call for some more serious punishment than just detention. They ran away and were never found. There have been changes we have seen on campus many good advisors have left because of them. Although, computer gaming was not really my reason why I was sent away, I honestly regained my life back, and regained my relationship with my parents. Take him out in public and do something fun, r-*#$@*-s", ... to that parent I say, "Walk a mile in our shoes and then tell us all about it." This is not legitimate therapy. My child completed a full program at CB. anyways, this is my first time to see Carlbrook and about monarch i have heard terrible feedbacks from parents, just do a search and you'll see what im talking about. This ironic in a sense because initially Carlbrook avoided identifying itself as a therapeutic school, and some remnants of that still appear. Using the "R" word simply demonstrates a level of ignorance and insensitivity to the path others walk and perhaps also demonstrates a "lower IQ" -- which by the way, CB students don't have, as the only entrance exam is an IQ test. The same goes for Carlbrook School. I can't claim to know much about Synanon, beyond what I learned by watching a documentary about it a year or so ago. The same goes for Carlbrook School. Where they really to seem to have let some of the kids down was addressing drug and alcohol issues. Believe me, most of them were at odds with their families when they left home, so it was so refreshing to hear that they had all mended (or were working on mending) the relationships with their families. Hindsight is perfection and that does not exist. It used to be called the suspension room, but now the school calls it the "reflection room." Students are being pulled by their parents much faster than students are being brought into the school. After reading this nightmare of a blog, I have concluded that you are probably the laziest parent I have ever heard of. Close. Dr. Wiseman has been working with the school for the past 2 years and is clinically familiar with just over 30% of our student body. A campaign targeted them and hurt them using marketing skills. There are treatment alternatives that do not completely isolate them from their families and where they can be closer to home and that have highly trained, licensed professionals who offer full disclosure for the treatment provided and take accountability for their actions. They may make some bad choices when they leave, but they have the tools on which to fall back when they are ready to implement them.Their is no abuse at CB that I am aware. Carlbrook was a awful school and is now gone.You should never hand your children over to a private organization for any reason ever. Frankly, they may be excessive in some respects, and even parents find some of them annoying. It's wrong, you don't have to look very hard to see how wrong it is. My impression is that there's a line -- bright or fine -- between therapeutic boarding schools and residential treatment centers, and that parents (with the help of a good educational consultant) need to figure out which category best suits their child. A guy named Tim there always got my fucking hackles up. Besides the terms used to describe them, the activities sound very similar. something you might not know about because you also feel the need to shit on other people to feel better about yourself when the truth is you probably doubt your own parenting skills. The students before us had Aaron white teach them brain 101, kind of cool guy and again we have not had that or been told of that. All that said, I've never heard a word from any parent, nor suspected myself, that Carlbrook has any affiliation with Synanon or any other "cult." CLICK HERE. They now have a boy's dorm and a girl's dorm that are top-notch. Always write how you felt being committed against your will, the treaths you endured by staff - in transport firms, in wilderness programs and at facilities like Carlbrook. i bet it is also quiet, maybe too quiet that can make the students sleepy. But it gave me my family for the first time in years. I uninstalled it, took the hard copy of the damn game away and threw it in the garbage. and i went. CB has kicked out some kids for inappropriate behavior even though doing so cost CB money. Bottom line: If I were a parent faced with this very tough decision (and we were there not long ago), I'd find a good EC, pepper him/her with many questions, do a lot of independent research, and then decide. You are nuts. 4 students were missing and never found when CEDU closed down. Whatever else its flaws may be, Carlbrook is most assuredly not a place where kids are going to want for creature comforts.2. Hey asshole, lets just all agree that you dont know shit about carlbrook. When my son was sacrificing his studies too much for a video game, (spore was his "addiction") I did something really hard to figure out. Kids and parents gripe, to be sure, but the gripes are relatively minor. Well, that on that date this blog’s hyperlink was posted on a cultic gulag survivor website and a civil rights website. If he ran away and died of exposure would they not have found his body by now? In October or November of 2014, drugs did make their way onto campus: a former student (who, I understand, left involuntarily part-way through the program) told some friends before he left that he'd hide some drugs for them in a nearby forest. Fuck that place. We are a community of survivors and advocates who oppose the abusive Troubled Teen Industry. your doing the right thing, you should be proud of yourself. PART 2 OF 2 PARTS:In any case, John seems to have progressed a very great deal at Carlbrook, even more so than we’d expected, though there were some very big bumps in the road (as we were warned) and probably there will be more. To anyone who believes that Carlbrook "saved" them, or that anyone who speaks out against it "didn't get it" or is "clearly still fucking up"--In total, I attended two wilderness programs and two therapeutic boarding schools, one being Carlbrook. But what struck me about this "drug incident" was NOT that Carlbrook had dropped the ball, but how well it had handled it. If you really want to see for yourself, ask to schedule a visit. All educated to highly educated, all very much concerned about the well-being of their child, all very concerned that Carlbrook may not be what it claims to be. No question that’s disruptive, but Carlbrook appears to have reacted properly, both in the short run (shifting kids to other therapists) and the long run (hiring new therapists). I would never send my ADHD teen to a place that puts them in a room from 7:30 and till 10 pm at night (this fact was proudly detailed to me by three of the staff members) where they have to sit face forward and can only speak to ask four questions. One doesn't know, of course, what parents feel whose kids have left Carlbrook -- maybe their impressions are much less favorable. The school sits on a historic property of 200 acres. Jeffrey M. Georgi, M.Div., M.A.H, LCAS, LPC, CGP currently serves as clinical director of the Addictions Consult and Intervention Program at Duke University Medical Center. Carlbrook sometimes sends kids away to unaffiliated "woods" programs, as others have mentioned. Some of the inquiries specifically asked for a more comprehensive understanding of what we are currently doing to address substance abuse issues that co-occur with other behavioral problems. I suspect the numbers depend somewhat on a child’s particular problems, but the relapse rate is very high for kids who just return from a woods program to their regular lives. What the hell is wrong with you that you don't know how to discipline your kid and take responsibility? While not all Carlbrook students have a history of substance use, those students who do are provided interventions individually tailored to address their needs and the needs … In other words, your child will never be in the room with a staff member by himself. to: Anyone railing on Carlbrook or on a mom who had the courage and probably worked hard to afford itYou are nuts. The school was concerned that it lacked something "in between," and an on-site "woods" program fits the bill. Recently Carlbrook experienced a “drug incident,” but most parents feel the school handled it as well as it could be handled. I decided a review of our current on-campus recovery maintenance offerings would best address these requests. http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=28641&start=0http://forums.youthrights.org/showthread.php?19533-Behavior-Modification-for-World-Of-WarcraftIMO, the CEDU – Synanon cult family have arrived to protect themselves. comment on this article CarlBrook has been the opposite, and shows that it is probably one of the most open and honest schools out there. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Carlbrook shut down!!! Is he alive? A boarding school in Halifax County is closing its doors for good.
