I was a student at Shelterwood for a year (2010-2011). I think the main thing Shelterwood did for me was take me out of the environment I was in at home, giving me much needed space from the unhealthy relationships I was surrounded with there. I loved my counselor, and he worked with my family and me weekly. He was a key player in the restoration that took place with our family. My year at Shelterwood was a very difficult one, but it absolutely saved my life and I'm thankful my parents chose to send me there.
