Liahona Treatment Center Student Profile
The typical Liahona Treatment Center student is an average kid from a good family. He has many talents and great potential. However, this good kid is now dealing with depression, anger, and/or anxiety. He is currently participating in self-destructive behavior: struggling with substance abuse and/or addictions, school failure, and other self-harming acts of rebellion. This young man is bright, yet unmotivated academically and defying parental authority. He is skipping class, sneaking out, or isolating himself. This once well-behaved kid is manipulative, emotionally immature, and continually making bad choices. But there is hope, and with a change (therapeutic intervention) he can rebound and be restored.![Student Proflle](/wp-content/uploads/liahona18.png)
