Quotes from Episode 3: The Changing Landscape of Therapeutic Programs
"I look at a lot of the programs that are out there for young adults, with New Directions included, as being far more equipped than a generation ago, of understanding these kids and being able to process with them appropriately, therapeutically."
- Josh Doyle
“It used to be a number of years ago, that a lot of therapeutic programs for kids that were never home, that were all out engaging in really risky things. Now we’re dealing with profoundly depressed kids who are never leaving their home.”
- Josh Doyle
“I’m a big advocate of residential care, because in most cases for the students I work with, they’re not able to access the therapy that’s available to them. And with the closures happening, it’s making things worse. As evidenced by the fact that, now more than ever, the number of ER visits for teenagers and young adults has skyrocketed in recent years. There’s no place to send these children like there used to be.”
