Aspen Helps Families In Trouble
What Parents And Their Teens Told Researchers
At discharge from the program, both parents and teens reported:
- Better family communications
- Improved personal family dynamics
Why This May Be Important To You
Prior to treatment, teens and their families were showing signs of serious trouble. Teens and parents weren't communicating effectively, teens weren't complying with family rules and expectations, and the whole family was suffering. Aspen's programs brought significant, positive change to these families.

What This Study Means For Students
Aspen's programs help teens to feel better about themselves, improve their behavior and develop stronger family relationships.
