Alpine Academy saved my life. At the age of 14 I was struggling with so much and my relationship with my amazing family was suffering. I was sent to Alpine and graduated within 9 months. I had to do so much work on myself in order to get to the place that I needed to be and Alpine truly guided me along the way. I was provided unconditional support by my houseparents, Ben & Jordan, my therapist Jackie, and the associates (Debbie, Erica, Chassidy). I still keep in touch with several of them to this day, as well as several individuals on the admin team, as they made the largest impact on my life. Don't get me wrong-Alpine was extremely tough in the sense that it took me out of my comfort zone by living with 10 girls and living off of a behavioral system. I needed to be taken out of my environment and pushed to get to where I am today. I am eternally grateful and have been working in the mental health field for 11 years now due to wanting to give back. I highly recommend Alpine Academy for any young girl struggling to find herself.
