This week I have primarily been dealing with conducting 2 month and 6 month follow-up phone surveys of parents whose kids had successfully gone through the program. I have received almost 100% results in parents exuding the benefits of the program. This has further solidified my belief that this process truly helps the kids, and giving them the opportunity to reflect, and atone for their mistake, all the while treating them with respect and kindness helps build their character. Some of the responses from the parents that speaks to the benefits of the program are as follows:
“It’s really good to hear other peoples stories and for the youth to understand she's not alone. It has made a big impact to hear how people’s parents have been impacted. The team atmosphere has helped the youth.”
“It was a great experience for _______. He was taught accountability and how to make better decisions, especially regarding friends. He and the family enjoyed the entire procedure. _______ has changed friends.”
“We recognized our child again. Changed to better choices, her peers had more influence on her then we did and encouraged toward better choices. Making better choices will definitely lead to empowerment. Thankful and grateful for this program. Affected the whole family for the positive. It was so good.”
“It was nice for him to be around other kids and see their situations. Turned a bad situation into a positive.”
