I FEEL OVERWHELMED AND DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN HELPING MY TROUBLED TEEN GIRL. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?
If you are like most parents you are overwhelmed and stressed out from dealing with your troubled teen daughter and every crisis she is creating. Here are the steps that our Troubled Teens Program recommends;
Step One: Figure out if your daughter is in need of placement.
Step Two: Find a troubled teen school or treatment program that is right for your daughter and your family values. There are a lot of different treatment philosophies out there. We suggest that you find a program that is safe, and is going to influence your daughter's beliefs, self worth and values in the same manner that you are trying to instill in her. In order for your daughter to change her behavior she has to change the way she believes in herself and the perception she has of herself; therefore changing her identity.
Step Three: After you find a troubled teens program that is right for your daughter, you need to figure out how you are going to finance the program:
Step Four: Get approval from the troubled teen program to admit your daughter:
WHAT IS THE LENGTH OF YOUR TROUBLED TEENS PROGRAM?
The average length of treatment for troubled teen girls is about 18 months. This is the length of time that it takes for your daughter to have a true lasting change of heart, to be convicted to going home and living out that change.
WHEN CAN I ADMIT MY TROUBLED TEEN GIRL INTO YOUR TREATMENT PROGRAM?
If we have an opening you can admit your daughter today. Since we only have 14 girls in the program at a time, and a long term treatment program, averaging about 18 months, the turn over for girls is small. It is best to call the admissions director to see if we have an opening or how long the waiting list is.

HOW DO I GET MY DAUGHTER TO YOUR TROUBLED TEENS TREATMENT PROGRAM?
Most troubled teen girls are transported to troubled teen programs by transport agencies. Transport agencies are agencies that are hired by you to transport your daughter safely. They are bonded, insured and certified to transport troubled, high risk, and un-willing teens to treatment programs through teen crisis intervention.
If your daughter is willing to help herself and participate in treatment, and she is trustworthy to not runaway, or harm herself or others, then you can transport her to our treatment program by driving or flying.
If you decide to fly her to Trinity then you can choose either Yellowstone Regional Airport in Cody, Wyoming or Logan’s International Airport in Billings Montana. Trinity staff can pick up your daughter at anyone of the airports. Should you choose to fly your daughter to the Billings airport you will be charged a fee of $150.00 due to the distance from TTS to Billings, however no fee will be charged for pick up at the Cody airport.

What a struggling teen girl has to say about our boarding school for girls
Eighteen months ago, I would never have imagined myself to be the girl I am today. To think that my life could change as much as it has astounds me. Throughout all that I have been through, there was one thing that Trinity continually showed me that was extremely fundamental to the change that has taken place in my life; and that was love.
My life before Trinity consisted solely of pain, hurt, secrecy, alcohol, drugs, sex, unhealthy, broken relationships, materialism, and every other sin that the majority of girls are facing living in the world today. All that mattered to me was what I looked like, what boy I was dating, and how I could cover up the continual lies and deceits that consumed my life. I thought that the life I lived was as good as it could ever get. I had such a twisted view of love and life that to me anything that “felt good”, was good. I was spinning downward fast, and by the grace of God and the intervention of my parents, I was given a second chance. By the time I arrived at Trinity, my relationship with my parents was non-existent, and my entire life was a lie. I had absolutely no idea who I was, because for so long I had been spending my time trying to be someone I was not. I was removed from all earthly distractions and for the first time in my life, I had to take a good look at myself.
The healing road is long and hard, but there is one thing I experienced at Trinity that I had not experienced before: love, real love. The love that is not superficial, or fleeting, or based entirely on feelings. It is a deep love, one that knows no ends. This love showed me that I am worth it. That I am so valuable and precious that I am better then the type of life I was living. That I am worth fighting for and that nothing I have ever done in my life can change that. This type of love was so foreign to me, that as it was revealed to me by the people and the experiences at Trinity, my life was transformed. All it took was the decision to change and a consistent fight for my life. I began to see the love my parents had for me by bringing me to Trinity, and with the help of the people there I was able to rebuild the relationships I had with my family members that were destroyed. I came to see that I have a life ahead of me that is worth living.
I can honestly say that I would not be alive today if it was not for Trinity. It would not have been long before the death I had been cheating caught up with me. Prior to Trinity, I was in the lowest of lows. I had committed sins so awful that I never imagined it possible for me to be “good” again. I considered myself bad, worthless, and undeserving of any good for my life. However, that was where I was wrong. During my time at Trinity, I was shown countless times that there is nothing I can do that would make me bad, worthless, or unforgivable. There is no sin too great to be forgiven and healed. There is always hope. There was so much hope for me, even during the times where it seemed so far away. There is hope for anyone in the same situation. My experiences at Trinity and the life lessons that I have learned have proven this to me. As bad as it ever looks, change is possible, healing is possible, and hope is possible. There is so much real joy and happiness awaiting me in my life it is unbelievable. It is awaiting everyone who is willing to let go of the pain and misery infesting their lives, and change. The superficial happiness I had in my past could not even compare to the amount of true happiness I have in my life now. Throughout it all, I would never change a minute of the journey Trinity has taken me on. I will not ever be able to pay back the amount of mercy, hope, love, and forgiveness I have been given. I was literally saved, and my life has completely changed because of Trinity. I thank God for this everyday.
M.S. Scituate, MA.
