Philosophy

We believe that people can make changes in their lives when they:

  • See the need to make changes, have hope that change can occur, and are willing to take some action.
  • Are provided with a safe environment, both physically and emotionally.
  • Believe that happiness and success are connected to the quality of the relationships in their lives.
  • Believe that these relationships are not limited to individuals and families but include relationships to other communities (neighborhoods, towns, country, and the world).
  • Believe that they have something to contribute, see value in making contributions, and are given opportunities to contribute to something greater than themselves.
  • Live in an environment that encourages responsibility, honesty and respect.
  • Set reasonable and attainable goals.
  • Engage in experiences that give meaning to their thoughts, concepts and goals.
  • Practice lessons that have been learned and are able to generalize them to other situations or environments.
