“I am writing this testimonial on behalf of Safe Haven School but I am also writing it to help those parents out there who find themselves seeking help for their emotionally handicapped teenager. My 13 year old daughter was unable to cope within the traditional high school environment, diagnosed with Depression, suffering from extreme anxiety and panic attacks daily. I note here that she had no behavioral/disciplinary issues. The traditional HS did everything they could to accommodate her condition but soon realized that they did not have the resources needed to help her. Via her IEP it was determined that alternative schooling would be required. I was given a list of various schools to choose from and quickly realized that there are many different types of alternative school choices. I found that most of the school choices where designed to handle children suffering with disciplinary problems such as bullying, violent tendencies, substance abuse and the like. My daughter attended Safe Haven School for nearly 2 years. She came to Safe Haven as a freshmen severely depressed, cutting herself in order to deal with her daily anxiety. She was under the care of a Psychiatrist monthly, a Therapist weekly and undergoing medication therapy. Safe Haven offers coordination of care to its students. This is essential in dealing with a teenager that is emotionally handicapped as they must learn to integrate their illness with their academic and daily life. The staff at Safe Haven immediately made her feel safe. Once a sense of security was established they went to work on helping her identify and understand her illness. The art therapy program worked wonders in helping her get in touch with her feelings and showing her how to express them constructively. They worked with her outside therapist to coordinate her care and suffered with us through multiple out-patient hospitalizations. As a parent I really appreciated the support they offered me directly. The staff was always available to help me through those stressful days. Staying in contact with me weekly to update me on her failures and accomplishments. Honestly, without their help, I could not have persisted with her doctors, finally getting the proper diagnosis for my daughter. My daughter has finally been correctly diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder and is now on the proper medications that have allowed her to return full-time to the traditional school setting. Her attendance at Safe Haven over the last 2 years prepared her for this transition and without them I am not sure where we would be now. I want to thank Safe Haven and its’ entire staff for being there and I hope it grows and continues to be available to all the students out there in pain. For any parent out there in need of alternative schooling, offering coordination of care for an emotionally handicapped child, Safe Haven School is, hands down, the best choice in Lake Country.

“I am grateful to have the opportunity to share with others the results of our experience at Forest Bluff School. We have three children who attended Forest Bluff and are now college students, and one a junior in high school. They are remarkably productive people focused on making an impact in the world. Forest Bluff developed a foundation in them of genuine goodness and genuine interest in all people. At Forest Bluff the classroom was a place where learning was interesting and was the focal point. The relationships of the children were centered around solving a math problem together, researching a painter, or putting sentences together in the appropriate way. They bonded over the learning and the satisfaction in getting something right. There was no focus on one’s clothing, where one was coming from in the morning, or whether they would be included in a weekend event. They were equals in their own world of learning, and their bonds were deep. When our children left that beautiful world, they sought out other students who were curious learners and contributors. When one of my children was asked by her college counselor what type of college she wanted to attend, she thought for a moment and then said, “I really just want to go to a college where other students enjoy learning like me—a school that is the college version of my Montessori school.” In the graduates you will find so many interesting professions—researchers, doctors, authors, and bankers. They are happy, contributors, and wonderful to be around. Our children’s experience and education at Forest Bluff was a gift.”
