Sue Scheff - P.U.R.E. Satisfaction!

Wow - in 2001 when I created Parent's Universal Resource Experts, Inc. (P.U.R.E.) I never dreamed it would explode the way it has! For 7 years we have been successfully helping thousands of families with their struggling teens and pre-teens. Sometimes it is simply listening and guiding them to local therapists and sometimes it is helping them sort through the confusion of this "child-for-profit" industry.

Whatever the reason a parent, relative, therapist or other professionals call us, we have always been supportive and tried our best to give them resources.

Over the years we have had less than a handful of complaints - which is a very good ratio in consideration that we are working with usually desperate situations and families in crisis. We have received and assisted literally over 10,000 families and are very proud to say we have many letters of gratitude. It is also an honor to be a long standing Member of the Better Business Bureau.

I have been interviewed by many reporters and appeared on TV and Radio - in today's society of teens and the peer pressure they face, parents are reaching out for help. It is a growing epidemic of seeking outside programs and schools, with this, a parent needs to be educated on how to find the best school for their individual child.

With all the attention I am getting, it can be overwhelming. I never dreamed my little organization would become so popular. Like with all success stories, there are always critics. Whether it is jealously that drives them or a simple dislike for me, I respect their opinions - however until you walk my shoes, you will never understand what I have been through.

My book - "Wit's End!" which will be released in 2008 will not only chronicle my story and other real life family situations, it will offer resources, relief and most of all - hope!
