Philosophy

To create a safe, experiential learning environment where youth with their families can overcome their weaknesses, discover their strengths, explore possibilities, embrace life, and realize their true potential.

Learning Standard

• I hear and I remember.
• I see and I understand.
• I do and I become.

"The Journey program emphasizes and enhances what is right while therapeutically addressing what is wrong. This invites youth and their families to create a new way of being that is a true change of heart"

- Madolyn Liebing, Ph.D, Psychologist and Co-Founder

Core Objectives:

To assist and invite teens with their families:

• To have a clearer vision of life's objective: To have a healthy lifestyle, to foster strong and satisfying relationships, to be a contributing member of the world, and to experience joy in living.
• To obtain or restore positive family relationships
• To improve educational outlook
• To increase self-esteem, self-efficacy, self-confidence
• To support sober living
• To experience an invigorating, clean, and healthy lifestyle
• To have respect for self and others
• To increase understanding and to value the diversity
• To foster awareness of and responsibility for the environment

This process emphasizes not just fixing what's wrong, but through supporting and enhancing what's right, it invites youth and their families to create a new way of being that is a true "change of heart."
