Father, adventurer, author of "Without Restraint," Robert Delena, in his own words...
"As a child, my son Ryan had difficulty controlling his emotions and was placed in therapeutic schools that relied on detrimental methods of behavior modification such as physical restraint. Nothing helped from a team of doctors to heavy medication. Then in 2010, he was voluntarily committed to a mental hospital for further evaluation. My wife and I were counseled to place him in a group home. We refused."
"Two years earlier, after an impulsive decision to take Ryan skiing, I discovered a different child than the version experts were so sure about. By his second day of skiing, Ryan was executing advanced runs, and with each conquest in the winters that followed, I began to question the path laid for his son by the professionals paid to judge him. Later, I convinced my wife to fight the medical and educational complexes over Ryan’s care and school placement, and together we fostered the freedom Ryan needed to pursue his dream of becoming a professional ski mountaineer."
This is their amazing, heartfelt and hard-fought story. Listen now.
