Hi Dan,Parent Solutions was awesome, very professionaland caring people. When we first called and spokewith Chelsea, she answered all of our questions.And we called back several times and she was right there for us. When we made our decision,Chelsea arranged all plane tickets to setting us up with the escort service. Dan & Owen were very professional and knew what we were goingthrough.  They scored very high in our book.  Wehad so many fears about our son being escorted to Choteau Youth Ranch, from yelling and screamingto physical violence. Its a very tough time, the stress level is already through the roof. Dan & Owenkept us informed all the way, explained how thingswould go and what to expect, they were very positive. After an introduction to our son they tookover, there was no yelling or fighting and it was promptly over in minutes.  They continued to inform us of their progress all the way through to delivery.Dan & Owen were a very positive experience duringa time of total stress and frustration. Thank you for helping our family.Paul and Cheryl OrlandoSnohomish, Washington

RE:  Testimonial

This letter is to acknowledge our great satisfaction with the transport of our 16 year old son from Washington State to a Adolescent Residential Treatment Center in Utah.   The two men from Parent Solutions, Dan and Owen, who provided the transport service, met us at our home at the appointed hour and briefly reviewed how they would proceed.  We woke out son and introduced him to Dan and Owen.  They quietly assisted him in preparing to leave our home.  They called to check in with us when they arrived at SEATAC airport and assured us that our son was doing fine.  They called again when they arrived in Las Vegas to report that they had explained to our son where and why he was going to Utah and again assured us that our son talked to them, eaten breakfast, and was doing ok.  Finally, they called to notify us when they delivered our son to the facility.  This was an emotionally trying event for us, and undoubtedly for our son as well.  The soft spoken, professional manner in which Dan and Own provided their service helped immeasurably with the lessening of our anxiety. I highly recommend them to any families that are seeking a qualified team to intervene in there current teens situation.

Chelsea, Dan, and Owen,

 My heart is so full of gratitude right now for the help you have given me in enrolling my son into a residential treatment program. I was so scared to call and ask for help but you all made this such a relief i am forever in debted to you. I especially appreciate all the knowledge and do dilegence chelsea had and also the way you treated my son and myself on the transport. I now know that he is safe and receiving the help he needs to achieve his goals and become the sweet son he once was without the influence of drugs. The marijuana has clouded his mind so much that he just became to much for me to handle and i want to thank you again for all your help. If ever a parent has questions about Parent Solutions please have them call me and I will tell them my experience working with you. Thanks again I am forever thankful for finding you.

Hi Dan,

Just wanted to give you an update on Justin. He is coming home for good December 19th.Yay!!!!!

He will be attending what we here in the east call Recovery High School. This is a great place where there is only 40 students. They will attend AA meetings as well as NA meetings. They take the kids on camping trips and a ski trip over the New Year's holiday. Justin visited this school while on a home visit and he loved it. I am so pleased with the progress he's made.

Thank you for EVERYTHING and please give my name to other parents. I would be happy to tell them about you.

I will keep in touch,

Rena

From the first conversation with Dan Dekker we were impressed with his knowledge and experience. We were in a tough situation with our son and Dan's compassion and concern made the decision to place our son in the academy you recommended much easier for us. The admissions process was very easy and complete. Dan has kept in contact with us about our son's progress and we are able to contact him with any questions and receive an answer very quickly. Working with Dan was a blessing for our family. We would highly recommend Dan Dekker, and Parent Solutions for helping your family.

I would recommend Parent Solutions and Dan Dekker to any parent struggling with a troubled teen. Dan went above and beyond to get my son into The Academy. He was honest and sincerely concerned about my son. This was probably the most difficult decision as a parent I could ever make. Dan was patient with all my questions and concerns. The schools he deals with are the finest. We traveled halfway across the country to place my son in Utah and Dan was there for us every step of the way. There are a lot of scams out there that pray on desperate parents but I can truly say that Dan Dekker and Parent Solutions are the real deal.They saved my son's life.Rena Harrington

Hi Dan,

Just wanted to say hello.  I don't know if you have seen Ryan lately but he is doing great.  We get to come to Utah around August 29th to have a visit.  Ryan will be turning   18 and he will be receiving his diploma.  I am so proud of him.  When we enrolled him in (*******) in January the thought of a diploma was the farthest thing from Ryan's mind.  He has come so far but still has a ways to go.  But I feel so optimistic about his future.  We went to court and they have suspended his probation for another 6 months and if he continues to do so well they might even drop all charges and seal his record as if nothing ever happened.  That would be the best outcome.  I thank God everyday that we found you, (********) and all the staff there.   It has truly saved Ryan's life. 

I still e-mail with Rena.  Sometimes 3 or 4 times a day.  She is struggling right now about when Justin gets to come home.  We support each other and try to make things easier.  We are both e-mailing a mother who had a son complete the program at (********).  He name is (*******) and her son was Michael.  He has been out of the program for a year and is doing good.  It gives us hope that things can be good when our boys come home.   

I have taken up enough of your time.  Hope you are having a good summer.  I keep track of the weather there and I don't know how you can stand the heat.  We get over 75 and I am dying. Anyway, if you happen to see Ryan give him a hug for me.  Thank you for being such a great person.  We appreciate you and everyone at (*******) everyday.

Hi Dan, Well the day has finally arrived,  Ryan is getting his diploma on August 31st.  HURRAY!!!  We were hoping to be there for his 18th birthday on the 29th but they wanted us to wait for the weekend.  We are so excited to see him.  We look at the pictures on the web site and he looks fantastic.  And always so happy.   Last time we were there we tried to get a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon but it didn't work out so this time we made reservations in advance.  We are doing that on Sunday.  Ryan is really looking forward to it and just spending time with us.  I continue to tell everyone who will listen how great the school is and all the progress that Ryan has made.  And of course we couldn't have done it without your help.  I still talk to Rena almost everyday by e-mail.  We have become close friends.   Hope you and your family are well. Mary

Update:

Justin is doing excellent! Not only is he gaining strength physically but mentally and emotionally he is stronger. He is able to control his anger, emotions, and other areas of his life that he used to struggle with. Seeing him at this stage now from when he first arrived, is like night and day.He is happy and loves everything he is involved in. He told us about how he understands why his mother put him where he is and that he loves her very much for doing what she did. After going to dinner with justin and his family I learned that they have the bond back that was once lost. To look in rena's eyes and see her glow because her son is doing so well, thats what this is all about. Seeing families come back together and to see a troubled teen turn his or her life around makes coming to work everyday easy. Thanks rena for giving me the opportunity to learn more about your family and congrats to justin for working so hard to become who he is today.

Thanks,

Dan Dekker

I wanted to take a second and write a little testimonial of our experience working with Parent Solutions and Dan Dekker. Our family was in crisis and it was hard to make that phone call and cry for help. The first place I called was Parent Solutions and I have never been more pleased. They answered my call with compassion, empathy, and sincere desire to help me and my family. In an urgent situation they were able to enroll our son in a boarding school and get him in before it was to late. Our son has never been better! We recently visited him and he has changed so much that we now have the once sweet young man we once knew. We recommend Parent Solutions and Dan Dekker to any parent that is struggling with there child. We have told Dan that he can use us as a parent referal because we have been so pleased with his service that we will tell any family about it. Thanks so much dan and keep up the good work!!!

Sincerely,

Dan & Owen,

We just wanted to take a second and thank you for making this decision easier for our family. I feel that without this intervention andrew would have gone off the deep end and we would not have got him back. All in all we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being so honest and sincere with us through this whole ordeal. We highly recommend Parent Solutions to any families that are in need of guidance and want to find the best boarding school to fit their childs needs. We know without a doubt that we made the right decision and we couldnt have done it without owen and dans help.

Thanks so much guys keep up the great work....

Dan,

Parent Solutions did an excellent job helping us with our son during some very troubling times for us as a family.  They were very great at working with us to find our son a place where he can get the help that he needs.  The staff that  Parent Solutions sent to our home to pick up our son were very professional and experienced.  They helped ease our fears about the whole process.  They also showed that they knew what they were doing and the transport of our son went very smoothly.  At the end of the flight our son gave them a hug and thanked them. We would be happy to discuss this with anyone who has doubts about Parent Solutions.  Just ask them to give you our contact information. Thanks again,

Hi Dan,

Hope all is well in Choteau youth ranch!

Just wanted to let you know that Yan has finally graduated High School and passed all the exit exams. 8) I did not think it was going to happen as he was approximately 2 years behind at the beginning of the school year. But anyway I just wanted to thank you guys for all the work you have done, as my goal for Yan  has been accomplished and I don't think I would be able to do that without your help.

Please say hello from me to everyone at the ranch.

Dan and Owen,

Thanks so much guys for coming all the way out here to jersey to help in my time of need. My son is very special to me and that was by far the hardest decision I have ever had to make. Although it was extremely hard I know now that is the best decision I could have made for him. I moved out here from california to escape all the bad habits he was involved with there. Thinking that a change in environment would do the trick, but I was worng again. I want this to work for him so bad because he is all I have and such a sweet kid.  The marijuana has changed him so much that I dont even recoginize him anymore. Long story short thanks again for your prompt response to my S.O.S calland i would recommend you guys all day long. When you see Benny tell him I want him to do good and I love him.

Sincerely,

Dan,

 I just wanted to take a second and tell you thanks for helping us out in a time of crisis. Calling you was the hardest thing I could do as a Mother and to have you respond with such kindness and true care for helping my daughter, that made this whole process easier. I hope and pray that my daughter will excell in The Academy of Eastern Arizona because you spoke so highly of it. After contacting several referals I feel this is where she needs to be. Sorry for rattling on I will end by saying, you saved our family! I would recommend Parent Solutions and Dan Dekker to any family that has a daughter in need of help you will be amazed! Dan is more than welcome to give my information out as a referal.

Owen,

I am not sure how long this should be but I want to thank you for all your compassion and help in finding my son the right boarding school. I was a little nervous with making this decision but that all went away when you explained to me the help my son will be receiving. There are so many different schools out there preaching to be the best but with over 200 kids in there program I am not sure how that can be done. Anyway I want to tthank you for helping me find the right school and God Bless you in your efforts you have saved my family.

Hi Dan, Hope you had a Happy Holiday.  Ours was great.  100 times better than last year.  I wanted to up date you on Ryan's progress at the academy.  He finished the program on December 19th and is now home again.  He is doing fantastic, so far.  I know there is always a chance of a relapse but I really have faith in Ryan.  He is actually the first boy at the academy to both finish High School and complete the entire program, all 5 levels.  He received a beautiful plaque from Clay and we are very proud of him.  He is going to  start at our local Junior College in January, is trying to find a part time job, has a sponsor for NA meetings, and is starting his life fresh and clean.  When I think back to last December and how far we have come I feel like it is a dream.  We want  to thank you  for all your help and we will always remember it.  Take care and hope 2008 is all you want it to be and more. Mary Seefeldt
