Therapeutic boarding schools for troubled teen girls builds self motivation
Trinity Teen Solutions, Inc. a residential treatment center helps troubled young women find a new direction in their lives, giving them the self-reliance to follow this direction in the face of negative influences when they return home.
There are many advantages to treating young women in the magnitude of God's creation. By placing her in a safe, loving environment, the negative distractions and pressures that previously influenced her are eliminated. In addition, behavior, attentiveness, and willingness to work have a direct correlation to life's basic needs.
Through animal therapy young women begin to find the loving, gentle person they used to be.
Taking care of and meeting the basic needs of animals, encourages her to be less selfish, and respectful to relationships. This process will increase motivation, self discipline, self-reliance, personal accountability, and self-sacrifice. These are virtues that are emphasized throughout the "Program for Life". These lessons are taught in a variety of ways by coexisting with a group of peers, instructors, animals and Mother Nature.
TTS's staff are able to reach students more effectively while living, working and dealing with life's obstacles. They become more "human like" to the young women. This is a key factor in helping girls. They see the staff as approachable, empathetic, and honest. She will directly observe the treatment team as living, eating and communicating in the same environment as she is. This facilitates a connection, which enhances genuineness between the young women and the staff. The treatment team is able to step back from their traditional roles as authority figures, allowing natural consequences to provide reinforcement and punishment of appropriate, or inappropriate, behaviors.
The philosophies of Trinity Teen Solutions, Inc. is that the experiential therapy will:
Offer the young women optimal challenge with manageable conflict
Exercise safety at all times
Provide young women an opportunity to exercise initiative and responsibility
Provide young women with tasks that have integrity (i.e., is not "busy-work")
Reinforce dignity
Builds self esteem
Provide the young women with a "sense of competence and success"
Engage the young women in reflection of their experiences
Troubled teen girls learn about bonding relationships
“Do not be conformed to this
world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that
you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable
and perfect” (Rom 12:2)
There is a healing process that takes place for troubled girls when you combine animal therapy, emotional growth and experiential therapy in the beauty of nature. Young women will gain strengths, develop the importance of trust in relationships and build self esteem from the accomplishments that they personally will achieve.
The ranch environment eliminates the negative distractions and pressures that previously influenced her. In addition, behavior, attentiveness, teamwork and willingness to work have a correlation to life's basic needs such as: food, shelter, and comfort.
TTS's "Changes and Challenges" program encourages the girls participation in changing her behavior. In order for her to gain privileges she needs to work honestly on the behaviors, attitudes and issues that are forcing you to seek residential treatment.
The therapeutic interventions will grow self worth, and dignity that will allow her to do the painstaking task of looking honestly inward. Wounded youth are too vulnerable to do this interiorization, however with the emotional growth that occurs, she will be able to soften her heart and let down all the barriers that have prevented her from looking inward.
Problem teen girls can find who they are in Christ
“Do
you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit?
Within you, which you have from God? You are not your own,
you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” (1 Cor 6:19-20)
Struggling teen girls build self-esteem
Young women are preoccupied with their appearances because of the American culture. Society is focusing on “lookism”. Everything from toothpaste to a house is advertised with some kind of sex appeal. Your daughter is bombarded with the pressure of looking “in”. Because of this preoccupation with “fitting-in” most young women are depriving their bodies of the nutrients it needs. They have poor eating habits or addictions that prevent their bodies from being healthy. We help your daughter to value herself and to find the beauty that lies within.
We will provide your daughter with pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements to help cleanse and rebuild her cells, and a high protein, complex carbohydrate diet that will aid in the healing process. This nutritional support will decrease mood swings, help curb addictions, and provide her with long term benefits for her arrival home.
Due to the fast-paced, highly processed, nutrient-depleted American diets, we are seeing more and more physical and emotional problems in adolescents. A diet that is made up of highly processed foods, refined sugars, aspartame and low in protein is a recipe for disaster. This eventually will have devastating effects on one’s emotions.
Simple sugars breakdown quickly in the blood stream causing a cascade of hormonal responses. The yo-yo effect of frequent ups and downs in one’s blood sugar causes hormonal responses that affect the brain. These ups and downs then will create food cravings that are very difficult to overcome. These cravings are so powerful, they are stronger than any drugs or alcohol.
That's why at Trinity Teen Solutions, Inc. we will help her get off of the roller coaster ride. We accomplish this by:
High protein diet to supply her with the important amino acids necessary for neurotransmission or chemical reactions in the brain.
Complex carbohydrates to stabilize her blood sugar.
Pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements-vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential fatty acids. Providing the important mood stabilizing, nervous system nutrients: Magnesium, Calcium, B Complex, Essential Fatty acids and much more.
“I
have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” (Jon 10:10)
Struggling teens are constantly battling to "belong to something". Our culture has become one of gangs, cliques, clubs, and cults. The cost to join is changing your daughter's values and moral beliefs. Girls desperately need something or someone to believe in, and someone to believe in them. We will gently guide her into a relationship with God and help her open her heart to His kindness in the serenity of His creation. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous have demonstrated and proven that this is the only approach for long term success in overcoming behavioral issues.
By utilizing the "Program for Life," your daughter will learn to evaluate her relationships in life with God, self and others. She will learn to determine what her weaknesses are and how it affects her behavior, and how to grow the opposing virtue which will help eliminate her destructive behaviors. She will learn to listen to her conscience, form it to be more attuned to her weaknesses, and begin to monitor self; one of the most beneficial results of this process is that she will learn to control her impulsive, emotionally driven decisions.
Through our Christian-based philosophy and our "Program of Life" we are able to restore in her the awareness of right and wrong actions and improve her ability to listen to her conscience throughout the day. We have found that softening their hearts and minds through daily prayer, Mass, Christian counseling, role-modeling a living faith and prayfully reflecting on Scripture, teaches young women that they are helpless to overcome the negative influences in their lives without God. The serenity and beauty of God's creation encourages the softening process in the young women and reinforces this understanding that God is the Master of Life.
