How can TransporTeens help?
When parents have made the decision to place their struggling child
in the care of a school or program the obvious question is often, “how
can I get the child to the help they need”. Teens struggling with
addiction, depression, compulsion or defiance to authority are generally
resistant to their parents efforts to get them help especially of it means
leaving their comfort zone. Parents are often confronted with a wide range
of manipulative behaviors when they attempt to intervene, including bargaining,
threats of harm to self or others, playing one parent against another
and emotional blackmail. Intervention can be emotionally draining and,
at times, physically dangerous for parents.
Bringing in an outside professional defuses all the manipulative behaviors
and physical danger involved in moving a struggling youth from home to
where they can get help. Our agents are kind and caring and, at the same
time firm and insistent as well as being very physically capable. Because
our agents have no emotional history with the families we serve they can
be professionally detached from the manipulative efforts of the child
and simply reply that they are just doing their jobs.
Our agents are well trained, experienced, and strictly follow procedures
that have been well tested for success and safety in escorting struggling
teens to their intended destinations. We communicate with our client parents,
both, before a transport to prepare for a successful experience for both
the youth and the parents, and during the transport to assure the parent
that things are under control. We want the parents who entrust us with
their children to have the assurance of safety and a job well done.
