Teen Challenge programs for girls like Columbus Girls Academy (Alabama) can provide an affordable safe haven and school for adolescent girls in Wisconsin and from around the country. It works with teens who have sought to fill a void in their lives through misbehavior, self-harm or negative peer influences.

After trying every option in their search to help their girl, parents in Wisconsin often seek out the Teen Challenge Columbus Girls Academy. They have usually tried psychologists, medications, and rehabs, all without success. Some have been told by loved ones that it would be best for their girl to get away from the negative influences in her life and away from home for awhile. So, they seek the help of a therapeutic boarding school, like the Teen Challenge’s Columbus Girls Academy.

The usual prospective resident from Wisconsin at the Teen Challenge Girl’s Academy in Alabama was once moving toward a bright future; however, as a result of self-destructive choices, her life may end up far different from what everyone hoped for. Where there was once excelling grades, there is academic failure. Where there were once athletic, artistic or musical abilities, there is a loss of interest. The young girl who once sought her parents’ direction, love, approval and acceptance, now has sifted to her peers to fulfill those needs; she is willing to follow them down a negative path in life.

Girls from Wisconsin who register for our Teen Challenge for Girls boarding school typically demonstrate issues and behaviors including when they arrive:

• Loss of a positive self-image
• Rebellion/Anger/Defiance
• Self Injurious Behaviors or Thoughts
• Deceitfulness/Cheating/Theft
• Manipulation of family and parents
• Promiscuity/Gender confusion
• Dangerous Behavior
• Self-Hatred

Usually, prior to choosing CGA, parents in Wisconsin have sought help from psychiatry and the use of medication. While such medications can help reduce the symptoms of deeper issues, we have achieved great success in weening girls off of them once and for all. All but the most severe mental issues are generally triggered by underlying emotional issues, which must be dealt with having a clear mind. Psychotropic drugs are reduced over time with the supervision of our physician and the family’s psychiatrist.

Columbus Girls Academy is the Right Answer

Usually, teenagers have been spared or delayed the heartache of the entire consequences for their poor decisions; sometimes by well-intending authorities in their life. So, as a result, adolescents are not always entirely certain of the need for change in their lives. However, the parent is convinced of the need for intervention, because their girl is obviously headed for disaster if such actions persist. The Teen Challenge Columbus Girls Academy is an intervention program, hopefully helping make a change in troubled adolescents’ lives before they become an adult habitually demonstrating a dysfunctional lifestyle.

Teen Challenge for Girls offers parents an opportunity to experience the total transformation that can happen in the lives of girls. This total transformation displays itself in positive new attitudes and actions marked by:

• Reconciliation with God and family
• Acknowledgement of past wrongs, accepting responsibility and seeking forgiveness
• Acceptance of the unique individual they are
• Getting caught up in school
• Gifts and talents begin to come to the surface
• Becomes a good influence on her peers
• Speaks the truth and makes the truth a part of her life
• Submits to those in authority
• Begins to have a vision for a positive future
• A joyful and peaceful attitude.
