Troubled Teen : Military Boarding Schools

Transport for Troubled Teens

Transporting a struggling teen is one of the hardest decisions a parent can make. We want to make this process as smooth and therapeutic as possible because we know that you are going through a crisis already with placement. This should be the last thing you need to worry about. Our highly trained and licensed staff is ready and willing to leave at the drop of a hat.

We have a combined total of 30+ years in transporting troubled teens, so put your worries to rest and let us take care of everything for you. We want you to concentrate on getting your son or daughter the help he or she needs and deserves without wondering on top of all that, how you are going to get time off work to get your teen to the facility. Don't burden yourself with the worry of your troubled teen running from you while you are trying to transport them to the facility. Let our highly trained and skilled staff get your son or daughter safely to the destination without any worries.

In all of the numerous transports we have done, not one teen has ran from us nor been harmed or mistreated in anyway. This is not tolerated in any way and if any staff member is charged with a violation during a transport, they will be terminated and prosecuted to full extent, no exceptions. We want you, the parent, to know we are here to help and get your teen to the program as quick as possible so the healing process can begin.

What happens before and during a Transport?

This is a gray area for a lot of families because most transport agencies just show up at your door with little to no instructions for the parents on what to do. Not us! We want this to be a positive experience, not a bad one because the stress of having to enroll your teen in a treatment program is already there, so this process should run as smooth as possible. We will try to cover the usual routine that our agency follows.

Before a transport we communicate by way of telephone on booking flights, rental cars, etc for the set-up of the transport. We also instruct parents on what and what not to say to their teen, as some teens will run if they get wind that this is taking place.

Next we have a transport form which (must) be filled out and faxed back before the transport can take place. Our agents will not get in the air unless this form is in our hands as it puts too much liability on our heads and we are unable to transport your son or daughter without it. Once we have the proper paperwork and payment has been received for the transport along with booked flights, the agents are sent out.

When we get to your home it is most appropriate to meet with the parent or legal guardian outside the home to go over the process one last time. We inform the parents to go into the room introduce us and then leave. Let us do our part and handle the situation as we are trained so that your teen can be on their way with no harm. We find that if a parent stays in the room or close by that the rage only increases and things are said on both ends that neither the parent nor the teen mean. We want to avoid this at all costs so complying with these guidelines are key in a transport. Once we have the teen calmed down and willing to come with us, the rest is all taken care of.

Finally, we keep the parent informed the whole length of the trip so that they know how the transport is going. Once we have landed, and your son or daughter is at the facility, you will be notified and the director of the facility will also make contact with you.

What do you do to restrain a teen if they become violent during a transport?

There is a very fine line in being a great transport agent and a decent transport agent. Our agents do not carry hand cuffs instead plastic restraints may be used only if necessary. We do not feel a teen should be handcuffed and forced out of their home that will only increase the rage towards the situation. Instead, our agents diffuse the situation in the home and leave without having to use any restraints. Listed below is pricing for a transport and what is covered in that pricing, so you know exactly what you are paying for. Transport form and payment are due before escort can take place. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

Cost for a transport is $2,000.00 plus airfare, which includes

	2 Agents to your home
	Rental Car(s)
	Gas
	Meals/Snacks
	Incidentals
	Tolls
	Hotel Room (if necessary)

Airfare is paid separate and details concerning this will be worked out at the time of the transport. Once the airfare is paid for and transport has been purchased our agents will be on there way. The $2,000.00 is non-refundable so please be aware in case you change your mind in mid transport.

If you should have any questions at anytime please feel free to contact our team and we will do all we can to assist you? We look forward to helping you with your teen and anything we can do to make this as easy as possible we will.
