Breaking the Mold: Innovative Youth Treatment at Eternal Strength
Our goal isn't to come in and get our finger on the pulse of youth culture so much that we know it and we somehow bamboozle them. All of these young people are on a growth journey and we want to help them.
What if traditional youth treatment programs just aren't cutting it? Brenda Zane sits down with Wes Robins and Zac Sweat, the dynamic duo behind Eternal Strength Therapeutic Youth Center, to discuss their groundbreaking approach to helping young people heal. Based in Atlanta, GA, Eternal Strength isn't your typical treatment center. Forget cookie-cutter programs; here, each young person receives a unique blend of activities and therapies tailored to their individual needs.
Picture a space filled with a musical jam area, recording studio, art studio, rock wall, Wim Hof station, and a full gym – all designed to foster organic growth and creativity. Wes and Zac share their journey of creating this unconventional space and why they chose to blow up the standard 4, 6, or 12-week treatment models. They delve into what's missing in traditional youth treatment today and how parents can play a crucial role in improving the process.
The conversation also touches on the real dangers of fentanyl and when out-of-home treatment might be necessary. This episode is a must-listen for parents seeking fresh perspectives on youth treatment and self-care. Tune in to hear how Eternal Strength is breaking the mold and offering young people a radical pilgrimage of growth.
