At Midnight Mountain we are committed to assisting families in repairing and healing the damage that may have been caused from the sometimes frustrating and turbulent transition that a young person may experience throughout their journey to adulthood . We offer support for the families of students, through consistent communication concerning your child's progress, providing opportunities for parallel information and learning tools to be available for parents. We request that one parent visit occur. This visit is designed to help bring closure to the past and encourage movement forward to the future.

We understand the many conflicting emotions that parents are struggling to deal with and will work with you to bridge the emotional gulf that is currently separating you from your son/daughter.
 

AS A PARENT, I FEEL:

• Saddened that the advantages I have provided have neither insulated my child from trouble, nor propelled her to success.

• Disheartened that the emotional and financial investments that I have made in my child's well-being have not been appreciated.

• Afraid for my child because while his peers move forward he is being left behind.

• At a loss as to how I can help.
  

AS A PARENT, I WANT MY SON OR DAUGHTER TO:

• Increase her self-esteem

• Become more self-sufficient; develop exceptional work ethics

• Choose healthier alternatives

• Know the difference between what he wants and what he needs

• Appreciate and value others - demonstrate empathy

• Become financially independent

• Differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate risk-taking

• Learn and practice basic life skills which will determine her future success

• Set realistic goals and then follow through with reaching them

• Be accountable for his actions
  

AS A PARENT, I AM WILLING TO:

• Help my son or daughter locate a safe and appropriate place where he or she can learn and grow.

• Visit at least once when the staff feel that it is appropriate.

• Be available for weekly consultations with staff.

• Support my daughter or son emotionally and financially as she or he journeys forward to adulthood.

Every child has inside him an aching void for excitement and if we don't fill it with something which is exciting and interesting and good for him, he will fill it with something which is exciting and interesting and which isn't good for him.
- Theodore Roosevelt
