It is critical that you understand the following: Teens who are out of control, or who are a danger to self or others, are not mature enough to help themselves. By default they need you. It is the parenting relationship that must intervene. In the coming weeks and months difficult decisions will need to be made. You must be strong enough to make them, or it is better that you not begin this process.

Do you need help? Is your teen destructive to self, others, or property? Do you need to find a safe placement for your child? Get help now.
