Parent Comments

"I would recommend this program for all teenagers!! It’s a great positive atmosphere & a lot of respect. Thank you for a great job!"

"Your program & staff are an asset to the youth of the NH seacoast and deserve much praise."

"Our son took initiative in scheduling community service hours and now says that he may volunteer in the future"

"I believe she was well educated about the dangers of tobacco. Thank you!"

"Too soon to see the positive results, so far so good!"

"My son has a better understanding of the risks involved in what seems to be non-risky drugs (i.e. marijuana)”

"The counselors were upbeat, positive and very supportive while sending strong messages."

"Abigail was great and my son really enjoyed working with her as did I"

"She became aware that she made a choice that effected many people… She also learned that she will have to earn everyone’s trust!"

"He is more positive and aware"

"We are so glad that our son went through the diversion program, we are not happy about his incident that put him into the program, but we feel that the program came to him at the right time in his life the environment and the leaders are so positive. It was right where we felt he would find, not just so much help but just people who understood teenagers and the rough road they sometimes travel.  My son may not have loved having to attend the program all summer but he did it and he really seems like he has matured and has leaned some valuable information, you supply an environment where teens are respected and understood and they respond with respect thank you for your program, it is very valuable to parents and teens! I wish I had known of this program 6 months earlier!”
