Truancy Abatement Program
Truancy is an ongoing issue that is impacting schools throughout the
nation. NVW truancy program intervenes at the core school issues
that create truancy for each student individually. These interven-
tions often include an in-depth examination of the family’s view of
education, school stressor identification, and stress management
skills development while immersed in a wilderness setting. Every
student leaves our truancy program with a School Intervention
Summary. This summary includes recommendations which the school
and family can implement to more effectively manage the student’s
truancy related issues.
At-Risk Youth Program:
Master Minds Violence Prevention/Intervention
NVW excels at intervening with At-Risk youth populations that may be violent or bullying in your
school. The sources of these behaviors are individualistic in nature. NVW targets the core issues
that are causing an individual student to act out. Our At-Risk program targets core issues of family
systems, anger management, Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse, and more. This course utilizes cutting
edge technology from HeartMath, current brain research, and effective forms of psychotherapy.
Expulsion Diversion Program
NVW Expulsion Diversion Program is an effective program to offer as an alternative to a permanent
expulsion from your school. During their attendance students will be required to complete
workbooks and be involved in groups specific to the issue causing expulsion. These programs range
from Master Minds Rage Management to Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse intervention. Youth are
immersed in a face to face look with whatever school issue is causing potential expulsion. Youth are
returned to school with a School Intervention Summary that contains recommendations for the
student, family and school staff to implement in order to prevent further potential expulsions.
These programs are generally offered in a 5 or 7 day format.
