Residential (QRTP)
Therapeutic Family Style QRTP are offered using the Teaching-Family model (TFM). Teaching Family technology provides positive reinforcement programming in a family-based environment shaping behavior through immediate and continual teaching. Intervention techniques center on motivation systems that is used to identify pre-behaviors and the prevention of intensive behavioral interactions. Earned privileges and praise are the motivators of change. One key component of the model is the belief that for change to be sustainable, the motivation for the change needs to be internal. External motivators are tied and eventually weaned as the youth finds praise, pride, and increase self-worth motivators for change. Being community is a “classroom”, an opportunity for continual growth and learning in a safe environment. Based upon individual needs, and guardian approval, youth are provided opportunities for normal childhood experiences so that they can learn from their successes and their failures.
