CEDU, Residential education facility in Running Springs, California, US.

Mel Wasserman founded CEDU in 1967, growing it from a local drug rehabilitation center into a network with multiple locations. The organization expanded significantly across California and Idaho during the following decades.
Students participated in structured group sessions that followed specific protocols, including monitored communication between participants and scheduled personal development activities.
