In addition to the basic and fundamental principles of treatment, Turnabout has been pioneering the following unique services to help parents and troubled teens.

Video Conferencing

Through state-of-the-art video conferencing, parents are given a chance to be full participants in their teen's treatment experience, regardless of where they live. Video conferencing allows parents both in and out of state to join in weekly meetings and parent groups from their own home. Parents can also see and interact with their teen during these meetings.

Visiting Parent Center

Turnabout's Parent Living Center provides parents living out of town with a place to stay while visiting their teen. This unique facility gives parents an opportunity to spend more time with their child while in town and participate more directly in the treatment process. The parent living center offers visiting parents all the comforts of home including a full kitchen, plenty of seating, and a flat panel TV. View Photos...

Parent Connection

Turnabout/Stillwater Academy offers parents a private login account to stay up-to-date on their teen's progress. Parents can send letters, access treatment updates, video conferences, learning materials, school progress reports, and photos over the computer. This ability to "see" how their teen is doing keeps parents informed and facilitates greater communication between parents and the program. Learn More...

AfterCare

While many programs may offer aftercare on an as-needed basis, 20 years of experience has shown us that in order to maximize the benefit of the treatment teens receive, a full and detailed aftercare plan is necessary. Providing a full support system helps teens maintain growth and achieve goals way beyond graduation from Turnabout. Learn More

Equine Therapy/Clementine Farms

Knowing the emotional growth that can come to struggling teens as they work with horses, Turnabout and Clementine Farms in Lehi, Utah created a partnership to provide students with this unique treatment approach. Students have the opportunity to participate in a number of equestrian activities including cleaning stalls, grooming horses, learning to ride, training and gentling baby horses, and coming to understand how to communicate honestly with the animals in their care. Working, learning, and playing at the ranch empowers teens to become competent, powerful, and genuine. Learn More...

Housing Program

One of Turnabout's greatest strengths is our unique approach to housing. To provide a more enhanced treatment experience and overcome the drawbacks of traditional dormitory housing, Turnabout students are housed in small groups in host home setting that models an appropriate family environment. Students benefit from a home environment and the support they receive from their host families. In addition, the housing program maintains 24-hour supervision of students, makes treatment more affordable for families, and brings peace of mind to parents who know their teen is in a safe and supportive home.
