As a practicing psychologist and educational consultant for more than twenty years, Dr. Buccellato has referred his young clients for help and therefore has had ample opportunity to observe many alternative schools. This placed him in a unique position to develop the best possible program for oppositional and defiant teens who need specialized services.

Safe Harbor Boys Home

Safe Harbor is unique because of the waterfront aspect of our program; this is an important part of rehabilitation. Sailing and boating and going to sea is often romanticized (and it can be romantic) but it also requires knowledge, respect, self-reliance and perseverance. Knowledge of the ocean and river and the boat and its equipment. Respect for the elements and your equipment; its strengths and limitations. Self-reliance because out there no government agency, parent or friend is available to bail you out of problems. And finally, perseverance because out there if you quit or give up you die and there isn't someone else to do it for you.
