WHO IS FIRST STEP?
First Step was started in 2000 by Eddie Curry who has been helping families with troubled teens since 1993. As a father himself, he has put together a staff of dedicated professionals to help your child and family through each step of the escort and/or recovery. At First Step we believe that good communication is a must. That is why we keep in constant contact with you and the program through out each step. First Step is dedicated to making this experience as positive, safe and caring as possible for your child, you and your family. At First Step our goal is to take the stress off you with one phone call. Our staff will make all travel arrangements. We will also contact the program to set up day and time of arrival. We are available to you 24/7, and in most cases can be at your door in 24 hours.

Our Goal in this difficult time is to treat your child and family with respect, and to safely escort and prepare your child for his or her next step.

WHY A PROFESSIONAL ESCORT?
As we all know the challenges our teens and families are facing today are greater then ever. With teen drug use, suicide and violence and other crimes on the rise. It takes a professional to deal with these kind of problems. In most cases the parents are to emotionally involved with feeling of guilt, worry, etc. When a parent tries to take their child to a program the child, in 99% of the cases, will play on the parents emotions and try to get the parent to change their mind. In some cases the child may run or even become violent. At First Step our staff is trained to deal with these kind of problems. Our staff also prepares the child for what they are about to go though and to make the transition from home to program safe and easy as possible for the child and family.
