Who does Forte Strong help?
Forte Strong’s treatment program caters to young men ages 18-30 who struggle to become independent Forte Strong can get him there. The young men who attend Forte Strong have a combination of underlying issues compounding to create a low tolerance for willingly exposing themselves to uncomfortable situations that they would be capable of dealing with but just don’t want to deal with. This manifests as operating on the premise of, “What is the bare minimum I have to do in the next 24 hours to survive?” It also results in a poor ability to effectively cope when they feel overwhelmed; typically, coping consists of disengaging and immersing themselves into an escapism where they don’t have to deal with whatever is causing the discomfort. This could be video games, TV, reading books, excessive video streaming, social media, lifting weights, playing sports, art, or even work. The second common coping mechanism is to drop an emotional grenade, an excessive emotional response to blow the uncomfortable situation out of the water. The underlying issues that are compounding primarily consist of anxiety, depression, executive functioning, lack of direction, a sense of pride, and a high sense of Shame.

Is your son right for Forte Strong?
Forte Strong works with young men who need to become independent, but they either lack the desire or are struggling in their attempts. They often rely excessively on their parents or other caretakers, avoiding adult-like responsibilities and challenges. The obstacles preventing them from moving forward in their lives include anxiety, depression, lack of direction, and a diminished sense of self-worth. These barriers create low tolerance to facing uncomfortable situations they could handle but don’t want to, coupled with ineffective coping mechanisms. Consequently, they operate with the mindset of “What is the bare minimum I have to take on in the next 24 hours to survive or get by?”.
For parents, this can be a hard thing to address because, generally speaking, their son isn’t doing anything MAJORLY wrong within a 24-hour day. If their trajectory was to be considered, it might be off by one or two degrees. However, when you stack up 100 or 300 of these days in a row, you begin to notice that the slight deviation off their intended trajectory maintained for a long time results in being severely off-course. If you were to consider the last hundred days, you would notice that the problem is substantial because nothing significant has been achieved.
If, as a parent, you feel that this is relatable, the inevitable question arises: how can they persuade their son to attend? Since they are adults, coercing them is not an option. If you can relate to this situation, complete our parent questionnaire to schedule an immediate strategy consultation. Our dedicated team has assisted hundreds of families to regain control and guide their sons on the right path. Let us help you support your son effectively.
