Anasazi is non-profit. The best interest of the kids and families is the bottom line. This also allows them to be considerably more affordable. They even do fund-raising year round in order to provide scholarships to those who otherwise could not afford help. There are, however, residential and outdoor behavioral healthcare providers who offer nurturing and caring environments with evidenced-based psychotherapy, drug and alcohol counseling, parent education, social-skills training, and other proven interventions. When outpatient therapy is unsuccessful, the Anasazi Foundation Troubled teen program can help facilitate change, strengthen families, and even save lives.
- At Anasazi, involvement of parents is essential. Parents are also participate and get to know how to let go off their insecurity and not to control the individual. The program helps to build parent-child relationships and a secure environment at home.
- Therapists use terminology from Native American tradition which has an impact on the way of living.
- Parents are also asked to join their kids for 2 days to experience the program and have a better bonding with their kids
- It is not just the time period of camp that is good but the teachings it gives to kids to have a healthy life style in future after they go from the camp is most important.
- The other positive attribute of this camp is it is not like other military camp instead it is more like a positive psychology camp, which helps them to march ahead in a positive sphere of tomorrow.
