Take a listen to Peter Chorney's conversation with Will White about the Grove School- past, present and future. Thank you Stories from the Field: Mental Health and the Outdoors for capturing our story!

What is a therapeutic boarding school—and how has one school helped teens and families for more than 92 years?

On this episode of Stories from the Field: Mental Health and the Outdoors, host Will White sits down with Peter Chorney, Executive Director of Grove School, one of the oldest therapeutic boarding schools in the United States.

Peter shares the remarkable story of Grove School's evolution over nine decades, his unique experience growing up on campus, and how his father helped transform the program by emphasizing family involvement, creativity, community, and meaningful time outdoors. Together, they discuss how adolescent mental health has changed, why today's teens are arriving with greater levels of trauma and isolation, and what families should know about modern residential treatment.

Whether you're a parent exploring treatment options, a mental health professional, or simply interested in the evolution of therapeutic schools, this conversation offers valuable insight into a program that has stood the test of time.
