Have you already trained other parents and if so, what has that been like?
We conduct a weekly live PARENT POWER group made up of parents just like you.

How successful have these Language of Power Parent Power groups been?
Very Successful!
It has been our consistent experience that parents respond in one of two ways.

  • They either drop out instantly because the Language of Power © is not for them, or
  • They drop out eventually, when they have learned to handle whatever problems their teens present and no longer need the group as a source of help.



When we're successful, parents are finished with us.
How Do We Gauge Success?
Satisfied parents-- who leave knowing they have the tools the handle whatever their teen throws at them.

Why is this program superior to all the others?
Because we offer you continuing and continuous guidance through the Parents Interactive Forum (after you have completed the Language of Power © training module). The FORUM is an online meeting place where you can ask specific questions about your individual teen issues and view the questions and answers of other parents just like you.

How was the Language of Power © created?
The Language of Power comes from Country Joe College, the program creator's own experience as the father of two (then) outrageous teenagers and from his 13 years as founder and CEO of Choctaw Ridge Academy (1996-2009)----the only alternative school for disruptive teenagers to operate as a Therapeutic Community (TC).

How do I know the Language of Power © will actually work?
You don't. With teenagers, there are never any guarantees. But you might be interested in what parents and former students have said about how Choctaw Ridge worked for them.
