Individuals are encouraged to assist in the development of their own behavioral plans and provide insight as to their goals. This sense of ownership leads to increased accountability. We provide a strong peer support system to address individual client needs and to promote improved self-esteem, self-responsibility, a feeling of belonging to society, constructive proactive problem solving, exploring appropriate choices and behaviors, and improved life skills. These are accomplished in a safe, supportive environment where individuals can risk change and experiment with new choices.
