Trinity Teen Solutions Inc

I ask myself, how does one compose a letter about Trinity Teen Solutions, a place that offered services I never thought our family would ever need? I guess the best response could be one word at a time, just as we have had to live one day at a time since our (at that time) 12-year-old daughter attempted suicide How absolutely Blessed and grateful we are that Trinity was here for us allQuickly the realization and need for Trinity’s specialized help became all too real Thanking Lord for our 2nd chance with her, we found ourselves led to Trinity after what seemed like a lifetime of research, but in reality, was only a few very long days Such an unexpected “blow” to our usual “routine” really took its toll on our small familyIt is impossible to describe how those beginning days ran into each other as my husband and I searched for reasons that brought us to this awful time and place in our lives, also what our daughter must be feeling – where she felt she had no other recourseOur family (myself, husband, sibling, grandparent, trusted friends) researched many possible solutions, from the large institutions in our state, to other state options, to boarding schools, what would our benefit plans reimburse for, etc.… Recognizing that we could not keep our daughter safe alone, could not have eyes on her hours a day was also very defeating for us as parents We were looking for something smaller that we prayed would not introduce to much of the outside real world we lived in, and still be able to help our daughter in her individual needs Raising her in our small Baptist community church and school, so much of the world and outside influences just did not apply here, or so we thought We were hopeful to locate treatment in a place free from boys, sex, substance abuse, homosexuality, and so on Though Trinity has other girls in their program that have those issues to deal with, we felt it would be on a much smaller scale that the other large institutions available We were drawn to the faith based, small all girls setting where we were hopeful of more “one on one” assistance After all, our goal was to have our daughter back home with us as soon as possible, both mentally and spiritually healthyWe found the day we brought her to Trinity was unbelievably trying, sad, scared and many other terrifying emotions We had to trust that they would keep our beloved daughter safe from herself as well as working on her other needs; education, therapy, family living & staying physically healthy, just to name a few Their specialized core staff is truly hand-picked for each of their individual talents and fields, each one reaching out to us when & if the need arose We found that very refreshing as well as uplifting Somehow, when we heard from them, we were hearing from our daughter also, that was something we desperately neededPer our ongoing correspondence during those four months we came to know the staff as firm, consistent, helpful, caring and loving, just to mention a few…The hardest part for my husband and myself was only being able to see our very missed daughter weekly for our therapy sessions We came to trust that during the time we were not able to see her, they were working with her in so many ways to bring forth and help reshape her needed living skills; how to be responsible, how one can loose and earn privileges, how to care for those dependent on her, coping skills for when life is not perfect, pitching in with chores, working through therapy and school work, how to talk to us, how to consider compromise, ect…Just to mention a few They worked with our daughter tirelessly and then helped us as a family to see areas of change that could be beneficial for us all She shares with us often her time and lessons with the animals living at Trinity, so much so, that we believe the therapy involving them was among some of her best experiencesIn short, Trinity was there for our daughter when we, as parents, were not enough By God’s grace, she is now homeThough we continue to work through things and towards wishful goals, one day at a time, with the Lords help Still not a “perfect” family, but moving in the right directionWe are still in contact with Trinity as there remain billing and insurance issues still outstanding and find that even though our daughter is no longer in residence @ Trinity, we all find that we miss them a bit in our own ways and how Blessed we were to know Trinity was there for us

Trinity did an excellent job stabilizing our daughter She had to return for second stay (because of insurance limits) and they promptly responded to our need and were able to readmit her quicklyShe was happy while there and has good things to say about her time at Trinity- she received much needed therapies and access to medical professionals to facilitate her recovery She has a long road ahead of her, but we now have hope for her future that we did not have prior to her time at Trinity

Trinity Teen Solutions is a wonderfully designed residential treatment program I couldn't give a higher recommendation All the staff I interacted with were very caring and helpful Before her time at Trinity, my daughter was miserable and admitted to hating herself She didn't care about who she hurt, she just wanted attention and quick fixes Our whole family was a mess The staff and program at Trinity broke through and my daughter discovered a way to love herself Is she perfect? No, of course not But she can handle life in a balanced, healthy way as she never could before going through the program Trinity healed my daughter and healed our family Thank you

Trinity was a blessing to my family! My daughter's behaviors had gotten worse, the three weeks before I sand her to Trinity She was not coming home from school until or at night She was skipping classesHer grades went downShe was smoking marijuana every dayI would not know where she wasShe run away at night three times I had to file runaway cases with the policeEvery time I tried to talk to her she would yelled, curse and act very angry and defiant toward me She would not even ride in the car with me She stopped going to her therapist and to church It was a very desperate time I would not sleep at night most days worrying about my daughter Then, I was referred to Trinity I called them and they responded immediately They listened and cared for my situationThey helped with the insurance paperwork and recognized that we were going through a crisis and accelerated the process so we could take her sooner than planned Kyle and Kara picked my daughter up at the airport in Billings Montana so I wouldn't have to spend more money and time It took them approximately an hour and a half to get there at midnight Angie *** spent almost hours listening to my concerns and explaining to me how they would work with my daughter Once there, they were close to my daughter making sure she would not hurt herself in any way They had chores for her She had to earn privileges She learned how to deal with her emotions and irrational thoughtsShe learned how to replace bad behaviors with good onesShe learned how to managed her anger issues Every week she wrote to me and we had family therapy My daughter used this opportunity to tell me why she was mad at me and I had the opportunity to explain These therapies were hard sometimes, but they definately helped We both learned to communicate better I learned that she was not a little girl anymoreThe last letters showed me the big changes in my daughterShe told my son "I thought I would not like this place but I really like it!"She enjoyed being thereHer therapist Mel was wonderfulVery sweetThe whole Trinity team helped my daughter, and I will always be thankful!
My daughter and I can talk for long periods of time now We can do things together We found a therapist that she likes.She accepted the fact that she could not go back to the same school and peersIf we disagree, she goes to her room to calm downShe came back loving horses and I found this place where they give horse therapyHer first appointment is tomorrowI could not have found a better place that Trinity for my daughterThey care a lot for all the girls and their families And the fact that this place was based in Christ beliefs, was very important to me I wanted my daughter to hear about God, since she had been raised in church
