Things are great. Seriously, great. My daughter is doing a fabulous job with her new school, therapy, friends and her work in a gay program for youth. She and I are getting along just fine. We, of course, have our moments, as all teenagers and parents do, but all-in-all we get along well and manage to talk things out a lot better. I am very proud of how she is dealing with life. She is working for a program that deals with keeping kids from committing suicide. She really enjoys that work and the people she has met through it. I still thank LRA for the change that I see in her. She has become a great kid and a mature citizen.

I was a student at this school for 3 years. The staff are uncaring, young minded individuals who abuse the power they've been given over teenagers. Their punishment system is sickening. I came home And did ten times worse than I was doing before being placed here. I filed a police report against a staff member and was pulled from the program after my parents realized it was not helping in any way. There are much better options.

Their discipline strategy is to put kids in different forms of detention. Each unit of detention is doled out in hours, and there are multiple levels of severity. Doing well in the program consists of climbing "levels" The rewards are basic things basic things like less supervision. It breaks my heart that children get put there.
