Our Program Emotional Well Being… our treatment programs are administered by licensed professionals and qualified staff with your daughter’s best interests in mind. We provide a state-licensed therapeutic girls home for ages twelve (12) to eighteen (18) with behavioral and/or emotional problems, but who do not require inpatient psychiatric care. Intellectual Growth… we not only provide academic, technical, social and behavioral instruction, we also offer “culture development” through the arts, music, and dance. Social Structure… our staff is completely committed to providing social situations and environments that teach new behaviors and responsibilities in social and private settings. Physical Aptitude… we prepare young girls to become young women as they develop specific skills for themselves and learn how to work as a team through personal fitness and organized sports. Spirituality… for girls who have struggled to some degree or another, we provide opportunities through therapy, academic and residential living programs, to accept themselves, build understanding and become aware of the world around them. “Our students leave the program with a new zest for life and an added dimension in all facets of their lives.” -Diana Robbins Program Director Our Mission We are committed to the belief that all young women are capable of making positive changes in their lives, regardless of the nature of their problems. We believe that all of our students are worthy of a safe environment. A safe and structured environment provides direction as our girls begin their trek towards making good and proper decisions. We believe that there are certain behaviors and skills that all young children should be competent with. For example, we at Utah Achievement Center believe that all people should be respectful to each and every member of society, no matter what their race, creed, age, gender, religion, political affiliations, etc. We try to instill in our girls the value of treating people warmly and genuinely without compromising their own beliefs. We believe that marvelous changes can and do take place as the student is made aware of her many strengths and limitations. For these prodigious events to occur in the lives of our students there must be a time commitment. We believe that the time in a program should vary, as girls learn to eliminate inappropriate behaviors, which in the past have often lead to unhappiness in their lives and that of their parents. Our philosophy is that as these young ladies are redirected and begin to practice appropriate personal and social skills, they will begin to feel of their own personal worth. As their own self confidence builds, they are ready to make giant leaps in the direction of becoming the most capable, caring and contributing young women that one could ever expect. |
