This 10-week program for adolescents and teens helps them to discover who they really are - unique human beings with powerful gifts. These gifts have nothing to do with what they like or what they good at or what they achieve or even they behave. The gifts are innate, qualities of the spirit that all people have inside them at birth.
Those gifts make up the essence of who we are but we learn to forget our unique place in the world. Our experiences and those around us make us question our value. Well intentioned adults sometimes create additional difficulties by not providing clear boundaries, excuse making, over protecting, using vague (ie. good or bad) language to discipline, not providing the opportunity to make amends and more.
The consequences for families is that children act out, yell, disobey and seem out of control. The consequence for society is that children turn their frustration and uncertainty and lack of authentic self-esteem to risky behavior.
This program is a support group for adolescents and teens that is designed to recognize their gifts and to work on their challenges. The techniques used encourage personal responsibility and growth through dialogue and interactive activities.
