Some of his experiences have been very positive and others have been less so. Some have been down right terrible. He sets the stage for further conversation in this episode of teen programs. His reason for doing this episode is because he said "Silence because of fear is not a healthy response to challenges and attacks will also be destructive". Therefore, he speaks with empathy for students and former staff who usually feel a pressure to remain silent. While he also notices that those who speak out about it are often attacking and blaming. From Jeremiah's perspective, there has to be a middle ground in the conversation and finding it may help. In episode 3 Jeremiah looks at the question, "Is residential school for teens helpful or harmful?" In this episode he directly addresses the types of programming that exist(Behavioral mod/relational) and methodologies for intervention. He will address wilderness(nomadic/base camp), transportation services, bans, reconciliation processes(seats, timeouts, breaks, reflections, etc) and he will point to where he sees high risk for harm and high probability of healing. Episode 4 (coming soon) Jeremiah will outline what an effective model for therapeutic boarding school would be like. From the school model to application, he will get into some of the nitty gritty in this episode. In this episode we take a look at Jeremiah's growth and ability to see how different programs function. Many of his blind spots disappeared and it translated to a more effective experiences that were not nearly as narrow as a small group within a program but entire program effectiveness.
