Featured Testimonial
Island View’s program saved our lives – and broke the despairing spiral that plagued our troubled teenager. The therapeutic programs that Island View offers focus not only on the individual child, but on the all-important family dynamic, helping us to better realize our strengths and weaknesses and perhaps most importantly, how integral we as a family are to the recovery process. Island View and its phenomenal team provided our child and family with tools that we all need to lead healthy and productive lives moving forward. Are we perfect? Not by a long shot. Do we struggle daily? You bet. But thanks to Island View, we’re now able to live, love – and talk about our fears, dreams and hopes for the future. Thank you doesn’t begin to express our gratitude.

SUPPORT GROUP HELPS TEEN TACKLE ISSUES RELATED TO ADOPTION
When teens learn they’ve been adopted, their entire world can shift. They may question who they are and what made them so unworthy of being loved by their birth parents, often causing them to act out, become depressed or seek comfort in drugs or alcohol.
If an adopted teen has begun engaging in destructive behaviors, it’s not just the behaviors that need to be addressed. Adopted teens have an entire set of concerns and issues that other teens don’t have, and they will need to address those in order to effectively work through any of the other problems they are experiencing.
The best way to do this is through both individual therapy and a support group for adopted teens, which allows kids to share similar feelings and experiences that others can’t quite understand.
