Is this child struggling to accept decisions? You'll praise them for accepting no, or disagreeing in an appropriate way.

Who are the Youth? The students we serve are ages 12-18 and have generally been referred by their parents.
They experience a range of behavioral, emotional, and mental health challenges from eating disorders to Oppositional Defiance Disorder.
In general, youth have experienced multiple types of treatment or help in the past, but have been referred to Alpine Academy due to a need for increased level of care or as a step down from a higher level.
Youth range in their motivation level, but in general, thrive and allow their individual personalities and talents to show as they are given opportunities to develop self-worth, relationships with positive adults, leadership development, self-determination, and to explore their identity and interests in a safe, fun, and supportive setting.
