Mind
There is an amazing healing process that takes place for troubled teenage boys when you combine, hard work, animal therapy, emotional growth and experiential education in working on a ranch. Young men grow in character strengths, develop the importance of trust in relationships and build self esteem from the accomplishments that they personally achieve on a real 40,000 acre working cattle ranch. Their lives are slowed downed and uncomplicated, as they discover their own unique gifts and talents. At Our Lady of Mt Carmel Youth Ranch young reclaim a true sense of what it means to be a man, mature, confident and with a new sense of self control and determination to overcome the bad habits of their past.
Body
Young men are preoccupied with fitting in and their appearances because of the current American culture. Our society is focused on looking good at no matter what it costs. Everything from jeans to car’s is advertised with some kind of sex appeal. Your son is bombarded with the pressure of looking “in”. Because of this preoccupation with “fitting-in”, most young men are depriving their bodies of the nutrients it needs. They have poor eating habits or addictions that prevent their bodies from being healthy. We help your son to value himself and to find the manly strength that lies within him. We will provide your son with pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements to help cleanse and rebuild his cells, and a high protein, complex carbohydrate diet that will aid in the healing process. This nutritional support will decrease mood swings, help curb addictions, and provide him with long term benefits for his arrival home.
Spirit
Struggling teens are constantly battling to “belong to something”. Our culture has become one of gangs, cliques, clubs, and cults. The cost of joining is a loss of your son’s values,moral beliefs and sense of personal dignity .
Young men desperately need something or someone to believe in, and someone to believe in them. We will gently guide him into a relationship with God and help him open his heart to God’s infinite Mercy & kindness in the serenity of His creation. It is a proven statistic that this is the surest approach for long term success in overcoming behavioral issues and bad choice habits.
The best Christian alternative to military schools, boot camp, brat camp, boarding schools and other juvenile treatment facility options is Mount Carmel Youth Ranch.
