"Heritage approaches the treatment and care of
adolescents from the point of view that the most crucial issues for them are
safety, relationships, and the development of emotional attachments. Our
approach is to build on the positive aspects of supportive relationships and to
provide nurture and security together with clinical assistance and structured
care. Our successful history has shown that this philosophy of treatment gives
troubled teens the skills and attitudes they need to regain control of their
lives." – Jerry Spanos, Founder Heritage School, Provo, UT.
