Wilderness Therapy Program for Troubled Teens and At-Risk Youth | Director’s Letter
Dear Parent or Guardian:
Thank you for taking the time to look over our newly updated website. We understand that this is likely a challenging and difficult time, and that you have several decisions before you that nobody enjoys.
We wish you the very best as you take the steps necessary to bring peace and change back into the home.
Aspiro is the fulfillment of a life-long dream of mine to safely intervene in the life of struggling and troubled teens and young adults.
I have been working with adolescents since 1987, and Aspiro is the product of what I have learned and experienced in many different environments from residential treatment, high adventure therapy, and others.
Aspiro is somewhat different than a traditional wilderness model. We believe it to be a more powerful, more exciting, more effective approach with most kids. As you peruse the pages of our website, we are confident that you will understand the basic overview of what we have to offer. We invite and encourage you to give us a call.
There is no charge to ask questions and determine which one of the Aspiro programs will benefit your son or daughter.
Our caring admissions staff will spend as much time with you as is needed leading up to the date of enrollment.
Finally, I believe strongly that Aspiro is the most dynamic program in the country, with unheard of opportunities for family involvement, overwhelming mastery experiences in the outdoors, a caring, professional staff, and so much more. We always do our best to assist your family in every way we know how.
Respectfully,
Randy Oakley, CEO
