Over the next few months we’ll be posting an interview series from some of the boys who have been through the Triumph program as well as some of their parents.  The hope is to show what impact getting treatment can have for troubled teens as well as provide some hope and encouragement for the boys and their parents who are looking for help and hope for the future.   What was the challenge you were facing before you went to Triumph? What was your first impression when you got to Triumph? What was your attitude like when you got there? Were you upset with your parents for sending you there or did you understand why? How long did you think you would be there? How long did you actually end up staying? What was your LEAST favorite part about being in treatment? Is there a specific event, experience, or story that had a significant impact on you while you were at Triumph? What impressed you the most about Triumph?  Or what do you think might make it different from other treatment programs? If you could give one piece of advice to someone currently in treatment, what would it be? If you could give ONE piece of advice to parents who have a teen that is struggling with something big, what would it be? What is one thing that has stuck with you since leaving Triumph?  If you had to sum up what your experience was like in treatment, what would you say?  Do you think it changed the trajectory of your life?  Where do you think you’d be if you hadn’t gone to Triumph?  Or do you think you would have been ok without it?
