Remember that cheerful smile on your child’s face during happier times before trouble began? Since 1968, Eckerd Youth Alternatives (EYA) has helped parents rediscover that smile. EYA’s licensed, accredited educational and therapeutic programs are exciting alternatives to traditional boarding schools. Not only does the nonprofit help youth ages 10-18 achieve academically, EYA also helps them reconnect with themselves and their families, and gain resiliency, confidence and self-esteem. Most parents select Eckerd Youth Alternatives because it provides a quality education, as well as develops an individualized treatment plan that addresses the root causes of emotional and behavioral problems. The distinctive approach combines assessment-driven academics with group counseling, high-interest adventure programs and relationship and communication-building skills in a therapeutic camp setting. It is effective for boys and girls who are: making poor peer and relationship choices, performing below ability in school, skipping or failing school, causing conflicts at home, acting defiant or having anger management problems. Therapeutic outdoor treatment also serves those who are experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD or oppositional defiant disorder, or isolating themselves from family and/or friends. If school or counseling programs have failed to help your child, Eckerd Youth Alternatives may be your answer. For more information, visit www.EckerdYouthAlternatives.org or call (800)914-3937.
