JOSH SHIPP OF "TEEN TROUBLE" DISNEY'S LIFETIME SHOW - IN HIS OWN WORDS - HARVARD ENDORSEMENT

“Particularly with young people you have to earn the right to be heard,” Shipp said. “Just because I’m endorsed by Harvard doesn’t mean the youth care.” Josh Shipp/article April 2012.



Josh Shipp of Disney owned Lifetime's "Teen Trouble"
This is totally reprehensible.  The marketing of this 'chap' appears
to be based on total fraud. An "expert, Teen Behavior Specialist, lectured at M.I.T. U.C.L.A., Georgetown, Harvard"; lecturing implies imparting knowledge - something completely different than a 45 minute venue.  "Endorsed by Harvard."  Harvard alumni would only wish.

The sad truth is that gullible people actually believe this garbage.  This is totally irresponsible, unethical, and quite reflects the unregulated  Residential Teen Help Industry to which Mr. Shipp relinguished his soul - again, for the bang of the buck.

Speaker brings life lessons, humor

JUNEAU EMPIRE

Josh Shipp’s childhood was no fun.
“Foster homes, sexual abuse, teenage drinking,” Shipp said. “I was left in the hospital at birth.”
As an outgoing class clown Shipp said he was often just told to shut up.
“People gave up on me,” Shipp said. “That is what I refuse to do now, give up on a kid.”
Shipp is the first of three speakers scheduled for the Glacier Valley Rotary Club's 2012 Pillars of America Speaker Series.
Shipp grew up in Oklahoma and has lived in California for last 8 years.
“It’s funny that now I make a living running my mouth off,” Shipp said.
Shipp said that finding a mentor is one of the most important things a youth can do. He said he leaned this first hand from a teacher who helped him channel his talents.
“’You don’t need to shut up, you just need to use it differently,’” Shipp said the teacher told him. “First time I’d heard someone say that to me.”
Shipp said his teacher taught him that his “ability make my friends laugh and grab their attention was a gift and skill that I needed to use with responsibility and care.”

“Particularly with young people you have to earn the right to be heard,” Shipp said. “Just because I’m endorsed by Harvard doesn’t mean the youth care.”

 When talking with youth, Shipp recommends just being oneself.
“Authenticity trumps being cool,” Shipp said. “If they don’t buy you, they will shut you out. If you are nerdy, use that. If you are funny, use that.”
And don’t just focus on your successes, Shipp said, also be open and admit mistakes.
“Parent’s greatest desire is to have their teen open up to them,” Shipp said. “You want your kid to be vulnerable and open up. Adults need to model that.”
Students look at the success story, not at the origin of the success story, Shipp said.
“Steve Jobs made mistakes just like me,” Shipp said. “Showing vulnerability increases our influence. Our imperfections make us human. It is our humanity that makes us influential.”
Mentors offer youth perspective and wisdom, having gone through certain situations before and knowing the outcome.
“It does not mean they are not smart,” Shipp said of youth. “But (they) have only been on the planet for 17 years.”
All teens live in an at risk environment, Shipp said. They will make mistakes.
“If you remove pain, if you remove mistakes, if you bail them out, you are robbing them of this opportunity,” Shipp said.
Shipp is host of the TV Show called Jump Shipp. He authored "The Teen's Guide to World Domination."

The Glacier Valley Rotary Club hosts its Pillars of America Speaker Series on April 25 at 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Centennial Hall. Admission is $35 per person or $90 for three. The price includes a catered lunch.

BREAKING NEWS - JOSH SHIPP REMOVES HARVARD ENDORSEMENT AND HARVARD LOGO FROM WEBSITE

HARVARD SPOKESMAN TODAY CONFIRMS HARVARD DOES NOT, NOR DID THEY EVER, ENDORSE JOSH SHIPP. 


 
SINCE  "JILLIESTAKE" EXPOSED  THE FOLLY FRIDAY, THE ENDORSEMENT HAS BEEN REMOVED ON JOSH SHIPP'S WEBSITE, ALONG WITH HARVARD'S LOGO. WE IMAGINE MORE OF JOSH SHIPP'S WEBSITES TO FOLLOW, SINCE THEIR MEDIA WATCH-DOG SITE HAS BEEN READING WHAT IS WRITTEN BY ADVOCATES.  IT IS CALLED "DAMAGE CONTROL."

HARVARD WILL ADDRESS THE SITUATION. THE "ENDORSEMENT BY HARVARD" AND HARVARD'S LOGO WAS REMOVED BEFORE HARVARD COULD ADDRESS THE SITUATION.

WE ARE TOLD THE 2009 STATEMENT FROM A HARVARD ALUMNI IS BOGUS - PERHAPS A STUDENT.

WILL JOSH SHIPP NEXT OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT HE IS NOT AN EXPERT "TEEN BEHAVIOR SPECIALIST"?

THIS DOES NOT LOOK GOOD FOR DISNEY PRODUCTIONS AND ITS AFFILIATE LIFETIME. I MEAN, DISNEY? MICKEY MOUSE? CONDONING AN UNLICENSED "BEHAVIOR SPECIALIST" SENDING CHILDREN TO UNLICENSED, UNREGULATED RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES WHERE ABUSE AND DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED, IS NOT A BRILLIANT MOVE.  BUT, AS THE GOOD "DR." PHIL POINTED OUT, IT'S IN AN ENTERTAINMENT VENUE, SO IT IS NOT MALPRACTICE.

WHAT DOES THE NBACB (NATIONAL BEHAVIOR ANALYST CERTIFICATION BOARD) THINK?

ACCOUNTABILITY? CONFLICT OF INTERESTS?

    JOSH SHIPP OF DISNEY OWNED LIFETIME'S "TEEN TROUBLE" PROCLAIMS BEING ... HARVARD ENDORSED - AMONG OTHER THINGS...



    Josh Shipp, of Disney Productions owned Lifetime Television show called "Teen Trouble," is a self-proclaimed "Teen Behavior Specialist;" a motivational speaker guru for at-risk teens who claims to be "Harvard endorsed."

    In addition, Josh Shipp markets he has "lectured" at Harvard, Stanford, M.I.T., Georgetown, and UCLA. "Lectured?" Really! 

    Josh Shipp, his production company, and his agency representatives market Josh Shipp as an "expert"; a "teen behavior expert."  Frankly, the definition of a behavior specialist or behavioral specialist that counsels teens and youth, appears far removed from the Josh Shipp's of the world.

    Josh Shipp states that he "studied" psychology at the University of Central Oklahoma.
    As yet determined, he offers up no license as a behavior specialist. There is no mention of a degree in psychology or sociology.  The only mention of a degree is from High School ... yada yada.

    Josh Shipp is qualified as an expert alright - a marketing expert.  For $1,497.00  one can take an online, 7 part, DVD training course provided by Josh Shipp's "Youth Speaking University."  "The complete step by step formula to become a paid speaker in the youth industry." 

    Josh Shipp, Disney Productions, and Lifetime Television are playing a reckless, deadly game with the precious lives of our children and youths by sending them to facilities known to be abusive, negligent, or worse.  Many facilities are unlicensed and unregulated, where documented Federal and State evidence exists of abuse.  Even if the show is deemed smoke and mirrors, a fake reality show -  it sends a demented message.

    Does Disney Productions, Lifetime Television, and Josh Shipp carry unprofessional insurance? Do the families sign a waiver absolving Disney Productions, Lifetime Television, and Josh Shipp of negligence? 

    WHAT SAYS HARVARD?

    Today, the Office of Provost's Trademark Program at Harvard University was contacted. Their Director stated, "as a matter of policy, Harvard University does not endorse any third-party goods or services."

    We sincerely hope that this applies to Josh Shipp.  Harvard University  has long been a supporter of children's rights.  To allow this self-proclaimed "expert" and "Teen Behavior Specialist" to use Harvard like this, is egregious.

    More to come ...

    Susan Schofield welcomes Florida Mom and Activist Blogger, Jillie Ryan… www.jilliestake.blogspot.com... who was told by the Government Accountability Office that the “Therapeutic Boarding School” her child attended was a “Poster Facility for Corruption” and that she needed to take this to the Federal Government.  So, why isn't the Federal Government doing anything about this systemic abuse going on where her child was emotionally and physically harmed at Hidden Lake Academy, also known as The Ridge Creek School in Georgia, plus so many other quote, unquote "Therapeutic Boarding Schools?"  She gives us the answers, plus how she later discovered why the Department of Human Services did NOT protect her child, nor is anyone protecting the Nonverbal Autistic Kids Currently being Aversively Shocked inside The Judge Rotenberg Center in Massachusetts RIGHT NOW! And, how Educational Consultants are part of the problem, NOT the solution!  All this and so much more coming up on this Sunday's Bipolar Nation Radio at 11am pacific and 2pm eastern on LATalkradio.com... the home of the free and the brave!

    State of Florida Files Petition to Shut Down Unlicensed Southeastern Military Academy




    When the State of Florida is done with the unlicensed Southeastern Military Academy, there are more of them.

     

    And, exactly who is at fault that facilities like Southeastern are not required to be licensed?  The State of Florida. The Governor's Office states they are aware of the problems.

     

    Not only are the military academies unlicensed, but so are the so-called Therapeutic Boarding Schools that enroll at risk teens and Special Needs children. 

     

    Vanguard Academy is one such facility. There is no oversight by the State. According to documents obtained, nothing appears to get out of Vanguard, unless it is leaked - like an alleged gang rape. Apparently the director and staff didn't understand mandated reporting.

     

    Psychotropic meds are administered in these unlicensed facilities in Florida with no oversight.

     

    Educational consultants continue to recommend placement of teens in unlicensed residential facilities for teens in Florida and elsewhere.

     

    Hell, it's surprising the state isn't flooded with these unsavory facilities ...  unlicensed ... hmm ...prospects are looking up ...
