Areas of Focus
Developing Individuality
THIS AREA OF FOCUS IS DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE ADOLESCENTS TO USE THEIR INDIVIDUALITY TO PROMOTE A DRUG FREE LIFE STYLE AND POSITIVE SOCIAL SKILLS WITHIN ALL SOCIAL SETTINGS I.E. SCHOOL, HOME, AND IN THE COMMUNITY.
Conflict Resolution
Clients that have been referred to our program are often accustom to
resolving conflict in a violent or retaliatory nature. Due to their home
environment our clients often feel that thinking prior to responding is not
appropriate. Our agency works with clients via individual intervention
sessions and individual role play sessions in order to alter their frame of
mind. We use real issues that allow clients to reflect on their behavior.
ANALYZING ANGER
THE ADOLESCENTS THAT WE WORK WITH ARE TAUGHT THAT ANGER IS A NORMAL EMOTION THAT HAS TO BE HANDLED APPROPRIATELY. DURING OURSESSIONS WE DISCUSS HOW THEY HAVE HANDLED ANGER IN THE PAST AND HOW THEY CAN HANDLE IT DIFFERENTLY IN THE FUTURE.
