Parent Awareness, Information on Transport Services

With today's world of uncertainty, whom can you trust to give you honest guidance with our children?

We created Parent’s Universal Resource’s in an effort to make parents aware of what techniques are being used as well as the misrepresentation that exists in today's Internet world. Parent’s Universal Resource’s has taken time to visit, investigate and help with the confusion that many parents are faced with during a desperate time.

Although Parent’s Universal Resource’s has not reviewed all schools and programs, the ones that we have approved, are schools where we would put our own children.  We believe first hand experience can be priceless in helping parents with at risk children.

As a member of the Better Business Bureau, Parent’s Universal Resource’s has a reputation to uphold. We will continue to keep our high standards in helping families. 

Many of our approved schools and programs are compensating Parent’s Universal Resource’s for our time and efforts to assist families. Unlike what many assume, the cost of the program or school is not increased by a referral from Parent’s Universal Resource’s. These are schools and programs of integrity and trust; they are pro-family and will only accept the child they feel they can help. Their tuition fees are the same whether you use Parent’s Universal Resource’s or find them on your own.  We pride our organization with the many satisfied families, as well as successful students. Our Testimonial Page is a small example of the letters we receive daily.

I am sure many of you have surfed the Internet and are totally confused by all the pop-ups, the wonderful websites, the sales reps, the constant in-your-face repetition of the same programs over and over, as well as the promises of success.

Since we are not as large as many organizations, you probably found our website by accident. For those of you that don't understand the Internet Sponsorship, you may want to review it.

Some of the largest Search Engines have Sponsored Listings. Sponsored Listings are given to the highest bidders, not always the best alternatives. You will usually find that many of them are very misleading or are the same groups that have dominated the sponsorship. Since money is an obvious motivator, many Search Engines will not take the time to research what the sponsored listings are creating or misrepresenting. If you read the definition of sponsored listings, many claim they are not recommending the URL, however it is a paid advertisement.

An example of this is: when parents type in "Military Schools" for a search, they are usually led to anything but a Military School. Although some actual Military Schools will be listed, many will not. The actual Military Schools and Boarding Schools are being forced to pay outrageous fees to stay in the top 6 of a search. Many traditional Boarding Schools and Military Schools are not budgeted to absorb such tremendous marketing fees. Parents are not able to fully review many very good schools due to this type of costly sponsorship. It is a shame that this continues and that there is no regulation put in place. The people that suffer are you, the consumers, while Search Engines and these large organizations that specialize in marketing, gain monetarily.

Parents Universal Resources has made it their business to know the business of this industry that involves our children. Although our children are struggling, getting out of control, have a learning difference; they all need an opportunity to become all they can be. As a parent, we only want the best for our child. When we are desperate, we make desperate decisions. Don't get caught up in desperate situations. Try to take your time and do a thorough research of what is best for your family and child's needs. Use extreme caution with the Internet and the fancy websites with spamming.

At Parents Universal Resources, we always recommend local services prior residential placement. It is important to try as many avenues at home as possible before making the decision of placement.  Finding a local therapist and support group is a good way to start.  Summer programs can be a beneficial way to help a child that is starting to make bad choices.

Parent’s Universal Resources is here today, and will be here for many more years to come. We are growing and succeeding in making a difference in the families we touch. 

Parent’s Universal Resources is bringing families back together…


Transporting a Teen - The Escort Service

Many parents have very valid concerns regarding transporting their child to a program, as well as questions to how it will affect their child.

Parent’s Universal Resource’s would like to take a moment to reassure you that if you are using an approved transport service (visit our Approved Escort Services List, link below), you are using professionals that are licensed and insured to transport teens. Many Transport organizations do not carry the liability coverage needed to transport troubled teens. Most liability insurance can be very costly, however your child is priceless and should not be with an uninsured transport service.

Escorting can be a very good experience if handled with the right transporter. Many of the teens, deep down, are crying out for help, and it is almost a relief for them to be removed from their negative environment. Many of the teens actually find a new friend with their transport (s), and in most cases, there are no problems. Many parents are amazed at how calming this can be with the right professionals.

The transport companies we recommend will transport to safe programs. If a parent calls and asks to place a child into a program that the transport is not comfortable with, they will pass on the transport. We are about putting families and children's safety in front of financial gain. The transports we recommend feel the same way. They treat your child like it is their own. They will be in constant contact with you from your first call until your child is safely transported to their school or program. This is what you want, a feeling of comfort and assurance that your child is in safe hands, from beginning to their destination.
