Adolescent Treatment Program Helps Local Schools Turnabout/Stillwater Academy educates school teachers and administrators on healthy communication with students. Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) March 28, 2008 Parents and teachers of teens are quick to agree that navigating the world of adolescence is tough on everyone, adults and teenagers alike. But Turnabout, an adolescent treatment program for troubled teens, is making communication and relationships with teens a lot easier. In partnership with Clementine Farms of Lehi, Utah, Turnabout will host a round pen demonstration for Granite School District teachers and administrators on Friday, March 28, showing the correlation between horse training and healthy relationship building with people. "The building blocks for a successful, interpersonal relationship are universal," said Lee Caldwell, director of Turnabout and a horse trainer. "Whether it's building a relationship with a young horse or building a relationship with students in a classroom, the same core principles apply." School leaders aren't the only ones who benefit from Turnabout's round pen demonstrations. Each month, the treatment program hosts a round pen for parents, students, church groups, business groups, or other treatment centers. In this unique setting, horse trainers teach the importance of trust and consistency in relationships, effective problem-solving, non-threatening conflict resolution, and building confidence. "Those who attend a round pen see the application of these principles right before their eyes," said Caldwell. "They have the opportunity to view things from a different perspective when they're watching a round pen."
