My daughter has been attending The Family Foundation School (FFS) since 2009.  She arrived there after 68 days in a therapeutic wilderness program.  She was sent to wilderness after several years of significantly difficult behavior.  Our intent was to bring her home after her time in wilderness, but this changed when we received information about [...]

Safe and cared for…

March 17, 2011

I enrolled my fourteen year old son in The Family Foundation School in April of 2009.  As you can imagine it was a very difficult decision to make.  My husband and I researched many other facilities and came to the conclusion that the Family School was the best choice.  In all honesty, I feel that [...]

If not for this school…

March 10, 2011

Dear Jeff, Our son continues to go to AA meetings and plans on staying in VA when he graduates. He loves it down there. He continues to enjoy his friendships with other graduates from the Family Foundation School. These friendships along with his sobriety almost didn’t happen, had he not attended the FFS. As you may recall [...]

Putting the Pieces Together

March 8, 2011

Dear Jeff: I am writing this testimonial letter of our experience at the Family School, where we enrolled our daughter for the last two years of her high school in 2001. Our story is very similar to many other families where a teenage child goes out of control and engages in dangerous situations.  Our daughter [...]

Today would have not been possible…

March 5, 2011

I completely and honestly believe that without him having attended the Family Foundation School, the lifestyle he has today would not have been possible. He would not be at a ‘regular’ school, he would not be passing his grades, he would not be enjoying healthy activities, he would not be phoning/emailing and texting me funny [...]

Just as they were ready to give up…

March 3, 2011

We were brought to the FFS as a last desperation for our daughter who was labeled untreatable by her therapists, with emotional difficulties, socialization problems, and she had stopped attending High School.  In our area the school system was either unwilling or unable to cope with her problems. We were very fortunate to find The [...]

We are so grateful and feel blessed that our daughter had the opportunity to be a member of the Family Foundation School community.  I hope this gift will help some other teen and their family to attend FFS and through hard work and the 12 steps to achieve sobriety. E. P.

Finding a Future

November 12, 2010

To the staff of The Family Foundation School, We want to thank you all for everything you did to help our granddaughter turn her life around. She has gone from hopeless depression to happiness and excitement about her present life and her future. You have developed a system at FFS that, through caring counseling and [...]

Keep Doing What You Are Doing

October 28, 2010

The Family School was the best thing we could have given our son, and our family.  James went into the school a drug user, drinker, all about him, didn’t care about anyone but himself.  The day he left the FFS, he walked out a different young man. The FFS gave James all the tools he [...]
