What is the therapeutic program?

Adolescents entering the program usually come after a court order or parent application. These participants may have had legal problems, or their parents believe that legal problems are in the future of their child if the teenager does not get control of his life. In many cases, the participants were not asked if they wanted to register for the therapeutic program and are defiant when they arrive.

While they survive in the wild, they are also encouraged to speak and program on their anger questions or other problems. When there are problems, participants are obliged to develop solutions rather than in anger.
