What Matters?
The truth is there are two great forces in the universe at war, good versus evil, it may be argued, but then what is there to argue? This person put his own life in danger to save another and that person pushed the other person over the cliff. No matter what the external conditions are these forces begin to be part of our lives from the moment of our birth, both begin to vie for the upper hand; to mold us. If a young person for one reason or another goes through the intake process at this school it’s because their parents decided to take a stand against the negative forces that have clouded their son’s or daughter’s future. Their offspring have become disenfranchised from love, unselfishness, truth, and purity. Self respect as evident from their behavior at home had been obliterated. With out self respect we become a door to nowhere. Their child’s life style had clearly become a matter of life, in the full meaning of the word, and death, horribly connected to the fear it embraces. There are 100 more suffering Families for every one Family slowly, preciously being reestablished here; the schools mission. This inspirational campus is a haven in which to heal through deep introspection, time, and a safe environment; this is essential to each fragile person that enters the front door. It is no less then a glimpse of hope! The fight heats up, each day becomes a battle, truth begins to emerge and real change happens. This miracle is witnessed each graduation by the most dedicated staff I have ever worked with. We all become willing participants to a serious victory for all that is good!
The Family Foundation School Matters! Profoundly!

Thank you Kurt for stating the truth so eloquently. The Family School gave us hope that our family could be helped and that our children (we’ve had two at the school) could find that part of themselves that was respectable and lovable . They have since become the loving, unselfish and grateful people God intended them to be. I am so happy to share with you how much I like and love the young women they have become since coming to and graduating from the Family School. This is a direct result of the dedication of the staff at the school and the effectiveness of the twelve steps that have become the cornerstone of our family today. I know my family was blessed with this opportunity and I try to never take that for granted. I know how lucky we are to be a part of this amazing instituition and we will be forever grateful for the hard work of all of the staff and students that have had such a profound effect on our lives.
With Sincere Gratitude,

The Family Foundation School was the haven my son needed, and I thanked God for each day that he was there. Lessons from staff ring in my mind every day and help me let go and let God. My son had opportunities for life successes that he found nowhere else. We are grateful for the personal and spiritual growth that came to us through the Family School.
