This place seems to be a troubled teen “School” probably pulling from fucking Elan. TLDR historically troubled kids were chucked at military school or farming/ranching schools which were closer to residential technical schools than anything else, then came the boom of psychology and a bunch of fuckwads opened up troubled teen schools which can vary from kinda okay nature retreat facilities to batshit insane religious schools which mentally break kids. These places are closer to native American/Aboriginal residential “schools” than anything else and I’m not convinced aren’t somehow directly related.
About the training
The training gives you the tools to support people’s development. You learn to work with well-being and give other people good opportunities to participate in the community.
A pædagog is trained to work with both children and grown ups.
WTF America? how can you not have a term and an education for that?
We actually do have the same word with a different meaning behind it. I’m just gonna link the Webster site for this one. Since it has little to do with the greater point I shall make.
Regardless we do have a term for these usually it’ll be something along the lines of “education councilor” or something vaguely similar depending on what they actually specialize in. We do have folks educated in such contexts be it social workers, guidance councilor, or some other such naming, they just aren’t focused on culturally.
Also don’t assume that just cause English and especially American English dialects doesn’t have dedicated words for a concept doesn’t mean we don’t have the concept. English is at times worse than the other Germanic tongues when it comes to compound wording to the point that some of our words have outright been lost because the compound was more useful.
Edit: Just to add to my point, a lot of these “schools” circumnavigate legal requirements. That’s not even accounting for corruption or political alignment creating cut outs for these facilities. Fun fact unless something has changed Utah has the highest number of these shit holes, because there’s nothing more morally corrosive and abusive than Mormons with money.

It’s absolutely insane, here a “pædagog” education is required, and English doesn’t even have a word for that! But suggests kindergarten teacher.
