“Thank you for linking us to Jeff and the entire staff/family of the school. We feel so comfortable that Andrew is in a safe, nurturing environment, albeit one with hefty rules, which he needs. Seems none of the students understands the need for the restrictions, it is their chief complaint!!
We had several times to spend with Andrew along with his Jr. Sponsor. He seems resigned to being there, but believes that steaming full force ahead with “getting through” the 12 steps will get him out faster, so he isn’t deeply making changes yet. He also feels that just getting his diploma by only earning the minimum credits is the way he wants to go, then hurry into Bridge… despite encouragement from us to spend the time it takes and work hard at several subjects to bring up that GPA. Plus the real job of the internal work, to which he is making steps forwards, thankfully. We will see what the counselors can do to encourage him along the academic path. Rick is connecting with Andrew as his Sponsor, good thing. Everyone on staff seems so committed to helping the students SEE what they need to work on, shaping the reality for them.
We LOVE Andrew’s therapist- she is wonderful!!!!! she has been so thoughtful, knowledgeable, point -on focused into targeting our issues and Andrew’s. She is the right fit.
We go back for our “First Family conference” on Feb 2nd. Christmas without our son will be a challenge again this year, but we know he is in the right place, earning his wings.
