I know personally many young men and women who not only graduated from West Ridge but actually changed their lives. I am sure there are those who have attended West Ridge and other like programs who didn't change or turn their lives around. I am sure most kids don't want to change anything about what they are doing and likewise don't see what they are doing is harmful to anyone including themselves. It is hard to fault these programs while ignoring the individual's agency. I am grateful for programs like West Ridge which promote morals, values, potential, self worth, etc.
