| Q. |
How is Kolob Canyon different from other places?
|
| A. |
Three things help change lives: the student's desire to change, the quality and
training of the staff, and individualized attention. While no one can force your
daughter to change (although some programs may try), we create unique, non-classroom
experiential learning situations that both cause our students to ask and answer for
themselves basic questions about their lives and that create the desire to want to
improve their present state from within. Our therapeutic staff is also specifically
trained in creating a climate that causes students to want to grow. Finally, our small,
intimate facility allows for the kind of individual attention that success demands.
Because of this, we believe that Kolob Canyon offers the very best hope for positive
change in your daughter.

| Q. |
Can you guarantee you'll be successful with my daughter?
|
| A. |
No. The only person who can guarantee positive change is your daughter. However, our
therapists have an excellent track record of creating a climate that causes our students
to want to change. Normally you will see significant progress, particularly as you do your
part as a parent to support family therapy and participate in family weekends. Our
therapists have helped many students with similar issues to overcome their addictions
and self-defeating behaviors and to lead happy, successful, and productive lives.

| Q. |
Why is Equine Therapy so successful?
|
| A. |
There are lots of reasons. A short answer might be that horses, because of their size and
because they can’t talk, teach our students simple but powerful life-lessons that are very
relevant to the adolescent girls in our program. Our girls learn to respect others, gain
self-confidence, become more self-accepting, and much more. Click here
