The SageWalk Mission of Family Conflict Resolution and Healing a Troubled Child

Our mission is to create family conflict resolution in order to reunite families which have been torn apart by behavioral problems of a troubled child. By offering committed, professional services, which challenge boys and girls emotionally, academically, and physically. Troubled teens understand the cause of low self esteem, learn to overcome behavioral problems and return home with respect and cooperation as the goal, instead of conflict and strife. We use our family conflict theory as the basis of reaching this goal.

Our family conflict theory includes a unique philosophy:

  • Rolling Admissions
  • Open ended
  • Small group size
  • Staff experience
  • Versatile therapeutic team
  • Specialty groups
  • Co-ed and single sexed groups
  • Flexible program lengths
  • Individualized treatment
  • Six months of post-graduation follow-up
  • Two year re-admittance policy (within the reunification program)
