….on the two worlds that sometimes collide: Recovery & Education. It isn’t easy to discern what the best path is to take when you are working with “at-risk” youth with a addiction profile. Dr Burdick presents a compelling argument on the proper way to ferret out such decisions, using the approach proposed by Jane Eigner Mintz of the interventionist work, as well as perspective shared by Karen Kellijian, recovery program consultant. In a synopsis, it is important to get good history, and have a well rounded knowledge of the recovery options available before placing youth in emotional boarding schools. It is equally important in considering the family needs, as one progresses through treatment needs of that individual. Tucson was well received, and educational consultants will receive further education from Dr Burdick and Jane Mintz on how discernment is so important in these cases.
