A Requirement to be Grateful for Everything
Cornerstone Team Counseling Survivor Story: 2017 - 2021
“The years spent in this outpatient where some of the most traumatic in my life… Every bit of my story was used as a weapon against me. On multiple occasions the threat of homelessness was held above me, I was forced to sleep in abandoned cars, park benches, and whoever was Willing to allow me to sleep on their parents couch… On multiple occasions my outpatient counselor said "I was meant to be homeless".

The program not only intrusively dictates the sex lives of their clients, but has proven itself to be particularly unloving toward those who are LGBTQIA+. It is a cultural issue that can not be reduced to a few examples of bad counseling. It is clear that they see no reason whatsoever to change this.
From a FullCircle Parent
FullCircle Program Parent Survivor Story: 2021

Rosy Tint of Nostalgia

Enthusiastic Sobriety Parent
I’m a parent who was involved in an Enthusiastic Sobriety program for six years. I poured all my money, time, money, energy, money, etc., into the program. While I was determined to be that-really-gnarly-program-parent (you know, so my kid wouldn’t DIE) there were incidents from time to time that put worms in my gut.
