All practitioners in Renegade Therapies network prior to acceptance for referral, have been and/or will be heavily evaluated to determine competency in their profession, current ethical standards, quality of character, and a genuine heart to serve the youth. This is accomplished systematically and intuitively using a combination of the following:

  • Background Checks
  • Formal and/or informal in-person meeting
  • Evaulation of all their resources and reviews of business activity online
  • Experiencing their services first or second hand via trustworthy source

The following should go without saying, but unfortunately it must be stated clearly and openly..

ONE THING WE WILL NOT BE HAVING ANYWHERE WITHIN RENEGADE THERAPIES NETWORK, IS SEXUAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE OF AN ALREADY VULNERABLE POPULATION OF YOUTH. 

These methods of evaluation for Renegade Therapies approved practitioners is designed to heavily filter-out any potential threats from a provider, teacher, or mentor working with our youth.

I, Joel Mitchell, believe these things to be within my scope of ability to judge due to the unfortunate amount of healing arts practitioners I have come across over the years who’s psyches are tilted in an illmannered direction. 

In my 15 years inside the world of holistic therapies, I learned that this is a larger problem than acknowledged and unfortunately these healing disciplines tend to attract individuals who seek to take advantage of the one-on-one and often private power position they are automatically placed in, alongside the vulnerability of openness their client/patient/student willfully shows up with. 

Properly protecting our youth from these sketchy situations will be a top priority alongside selflessly serving them. Some serious self awareness, education, and a basic understanding and taming of the darker aspects of the human mind is what's required to avoid these issues in the growth of any organization and network. I plan on putting these principles into heavy practice.

To put it more simply, genuine humility based on self-awareness of the power position individuals hold in a therapeutic setting, alongside their ability to keep themselves in check, is not a difficult trait to identify in potential Network Practitoners.

As a potential donor, you will be trusting myself and the leadership I choose to surround myself with, to not only to do the right thing with your donations and with the youth I personally serve, but you're also trusting me to be a proper judge of character and use solid discernment when approving practitioners for referral and/or payment.

We seek to build an organization built on a foundation of genuine truth and passion to be of service, and not a so easily tempted and mislead organization based on personal pride and self-righteousness. This of course, starts with myself, the founder. And after many years of caution and deep contemplation, I feel ready to lead an uncorruptable, accountability based leadership circle of strong individuals, who have little tolerance for their own BS, and eachothers.

Stay tuned to meet Renegade Therapies Board of Directors!

Thank you for reading, and thank you for your support!

Joel Mitchell, Founder
