"I would like to thank AGS and your staff for a most professional and reassuring experience with your escort service AGS provded from the moment we first talked with your staff on the phone to the final follow-up calls...We received the most dignified care imaginable...Our sixteen year old son was treated with respect, courtesy and compassion..."The thought of "intervention" can be a frightening and dreaded image for parents...We had alot of resistance to the idea... in actuality, this was the easiest part of the process. We cannot thank AGS enough for making this critical moment in our lives and in our son's life one of complete ease and grace. It has enabled us to move forward with our son's transition with confidence and without regrets... "Your staff and AGS are angels in our moment of need." - A Grateful Parent

"The decision to use a transport service was very unsettling for us. The staff at Adolescent Guidance Services could not have been more supportive and caring. They explained the process step by step. They treated our daughter with respect, compassion and kindness. The AGS team coordinated their staff carefully in order to meet our daughter's needs and interests. The staff was professional and genuinely caring. They made a very difficult time in our lives less stressful." - Sincerely, Rich and Penny, Massachusetts

"On behalf of my third grade class, I would like to thank AGS for your generous donation. Taking field trips in today's economy is quite expensive. Your donation will greatly defray the individual family expense and will help a number of needy students.
Please extend my gratitude to all the individuals that made this donation possible."
Sincerely, Ms. Petronis ( El Crystal School)

Hey Victor,

I know today is a busy day for you. I wanted to let you know Joe is doing pretty good. Thankfully most of the kids aren't home and I can patiently handle all the issues that come up. I know he learned a bunch. He has a much better handle on his communication skills. We will work on an education plan this week.

I need a personal assistant and think you should come and keep all my boys straight. tee hee. Seriously, wish I had one of you. Joe connected with you. He even told his sister he "bonded" with you. Thank you thank you thank you. I am going to encourage him to keep in touch with you.

The experience was incredibly intense and after telling his friends of his experience, he has a sense it was too big of a program for his little offenses. He said the other kids had been to many programs before that one. I said....your first and your last. Wonder if he expected me to wait till he was arrested or passed out high as a kite somewhere.

Victor, from the first hug when you came to pick up Joe (the worst day of my life) I knew I could trust you even more than I thought through the conversations we had. Your service is ......fantastic, incredible, wonderful. Such a crappy time in life dealing with that and to have you on our side makes all the difference. Thank you again and again.

Ruth Ellen

Hello Victor,

Just a note to thank you for your service. Will and Tricia did a great job. They were so professional and helpful to us in this difficult time. They just knew how to handle a delicate situation. The frequent updates with each leg of the trip was so reassuring. I certainly made the right decision in selecting your company for the transport. Also, thank you for your generous discount with your fee. This is all so costly, emotionally and monetarily and you took off some of the burden. I have only heard a few bits about how Morgan is settling in, but hope to hear from her therapist soon. If the situation arises I will reccomend you highly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please thank Will and Tricia for me.

Sincerely, Janet Payne
