Our program’s methodology stems from a holistic approach to building character, self-esteem, and positive self-worth; creates value in which when applied effectively fosters growth and the building blocks for success. We use practical applications such as creating budget, setting short- and long-term goals to increase financial solvency, combat homelessness and recidivism.
Our first objective is to provide a safe space. A non-judgmental environment. We address how to abate toxicity in our lives, how to count our blessings, how to accept a hand up rather than a handout. We learn how to access resources, how to embark on building positive relationships through networking and giving to others; how to accept responsibility and accountability. We learn to accept our successes, our challenges as well as our failures.
We address our fears in real time. Every day start with checking the temperature from day to day- an assessment of our condition by asking “on a scale of 0-10 where are we today”?
We delve into the misunderstandings which weakens our thought processes and embrace the willingness of our spirit. We use art and music as a conductor to address situational anxiety and depression. We utilize the five stages in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to gauge motivational drive and effective learning.
Ultimately no one is a lost cause. We are all on a journey to self-discovery and actualization.
