Teens/young people need people that can inspire them to do better. The other model, which I assume is more confrontational, kind of like the TV series "Intervention" works but only when the person is removed to a long-term care facility for months on end. There is a TV series called "Wildspring Academy" where they take extremely overweight obese teens and offer them full dietary, exercise trainers, emotional and psychological support within a boarding school setting. I think this could work. But they are removing the person who needs intervention from their environment and watching them 24/7 to see they don't lapse into prior behavior. To do this on the outside without psychological help, I don't think would work. Key seems to be removing the person from their own behavioral control and training to institute new behaviors. A "boot camp" for less serious cases, for people who want to help themselves, yes, that would work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310765395863592182.post-75256277126350819702012-01-09T19:04:26.453-03:302012-01-09T19:04:26.453-03:30I would love to be in the boot camp!
