“Decisions affect more than just
ourselves.” A comment made by one of our students
during a group therapy session. This idea, while quite simple
can be very difficult for many of our students to comprehend
upon admission into our program. Our policies allows for our
students to grow through experiences, choice, consequence
and reward, and incentives to make real life decisions where
they can truly understand the power and impact that they have
on themselves, families and friends
“This program did not change me…I decide
to change for myself.” A comment made by a
student during his graduation ceremony. Certainly, somewhat
of a backhanded compliment, but one that we readily accept.
Yes, most of the time our experiences can change us…in
the short term. If we actively take part in the decision making
process of our experiences, change is usually long-term. Our
program seeks many opportunities for our students and families
to make life changing decisions for positive change. We identify
real emotion, validate feelings and foster a culture within
our program that allows for change not only to take place,
but where growth and development can last a life–time.
