UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGES YOUNG MEN FACE
Is your son withdrawing? Has his motivation disappeared, replaced by isolation, moodiness, or irritability?
We know that by the time you look to The Edge for answers, you’ve tried everything you can to get your son back on track to live the life that you had hoped for him.
Let us step in and spend time with him—getting through to young men in trouble is at the core of what we do. At this age, your son is at one of the pivotal stages in life at which treatment for behavioural disorders and mental health issues can be most effective. Our specialised approach has been proven to help men like him make the most of this turning point in their lives.
WHAT ARE CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS?
Young men frequently come to us with more than one issue that they want to address: we call these co-occurring disorders.
Often, problems with mental health unfold alongside drug and alcohol abuse. At The Edge, we believe in integrating treatment for these conditions in order to maximise your son’s chances of a full and lasting recovery.
YOUR SON’S FUTURE IS WAITING
Reaching out is the first, most courageous step. We can help your son separate himself from negative patterns and discover new, productive passions. Contact us today for a confidential consultation.
WHY IS THE EDGE’S PROGRAMMING SUCCESSFUL IN TREATING THESE ISSUES?
Our evidence-based approach has a proven 96% programme completion rate.
When young men join us, they stay because they are engaged in a process that helps them identify the root causes of their struggles, change their mindsets, and set new goals. The Edge Crete experience is built on four core elements:
CLINICAL COUNSELLING
Professional group and one-on-one therapy sessions using modalities like CBT and mindfulness help develop emotional intelligence and positive new ways of thinking.
This is carried out with certified professionals. We draw upon key elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), the 12 Steps (when necessary), and mindfulness. Young men create new brain patterns, adopt different perspectives, and in doing so, change destructive or negative thinking. Counsellors help participants to develop an individually tailored relapse prevention plan, and offer extended treatment options—from online group therapy to further individual sessions to sober living situations—for those who can benefit from it.
INTENSIVE PHYSICAL CONDITIONING
Overcoming challenges and acquiring skills aids recovery and encourages growth.
Through rock climbing, vocational training, fitness activities like hiking or water sports, participants are highly active and stimulated—research shows that when is part of treatment, young men demonstrate better results.
EXPERIENTIAL THERAPY & ADVENTURE
We use Crete’s landscape to teach resilience, teamwork, and communication through engaging activities.
By immersing participants in the most prestigious mountain in Crete, we develop focus, determination, and better communication skills in the young men we worth with. These activities also symbolise the overcoming of life’s challenges.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
We help young men develop the practical life skills needed for independence while fostering a sense of accountability and purpose within a community.
The Edge takes the focus off the self by fostering a sense of responsibility to and for others. This helps with the accountability necessary for a continued recovery.
We can give your son the help he so desperately needs.
