Being a teenager is tough. Being the parent of a teenager can be even tougher. The difficulties and challenges faced by today’s teens and families can seem overwhelming. Sometimes, what starts as poor school performance or minor conflicts can deteriorate into behaviors that may become dangerous and destructive.

As a parent, you may confront issue and feelings that are frustrating and frightening. Where do you go for your answers? Most critically, where do you go for help?

The programs of The Pinnacle Schools, Inc. provide diagnostic and clinically supported treatment services for struggling teens ages 12-18 and their families.

The therapeutic intervention provided by our programs halts maladaptive behavior patterns and assists teens in discovering their strengths, talents, and potential. The entire wilderness experience promotes esteem-building, new thought processes and communicative skill development. These assets become the tools necessary to build productive self-confident and goal-oriented lives.
