Emotional growth programs for troubled
teen girls with behavior problems heals inner wounds. |
Philosophy
By removing young women from their usual surroundings, we challenge old problematic behaviors and promote personal growth. By changing their settings, daily routines, manner of dress and relationship with God, they are able to redefine and rediscover their unique identity with emphasis upon God-given dignity, personal responsibility, and right action.
Mission Statement
Trinity Teen Solutions, Inc. a residential treatment center that focuses on each young woman’s uniqueness, helping her to find the beauty within, heal past wounds, grow inner strength, instill a conscience and learn to manage herself in today’s society.

Modalities and Activities
1. Family Systems: We examine each girl in her context, including family and peer relationships, relationships to authority, relationship to self and to God. We use intensive family therapy (usually 4 hours long), weekly updates and scheduled telephone conferences.
2. Group Therapy: We use group therapy to help young women invent new solutions to old problems, see personal strength, identify needs and encourage progress.
3. Individual Therapy: We use individual therapy and develop individual care plans to identify problems, invent solutions, evaluate progress, and prepare to re-enter communities.
4. Nutritional Therapy: We use complex carbohydrate/high protein diet, and pharmaceutical grade supplements to cleanse and improve physical and emotional health.
5. Art Therapy: We use art therapy to identify body image problems, future goals, expressing problems and group sharing, to enhance personal insight.
6. Exercise: Reasonable amounts of physical activity to promote health, induce expression of emotions and solve underlying problems, such as walking, jogging, calisthenics.
7. Use of daily routine: We use the daily routines to enhance care of the self, encourage independent problem solving, increase organizational skills, and improve motivation.
8. Relationship Therapy: We use dynamics of relationships to encourage emotional and spiritual growth. Our central philosophy is “the family teaches right action through example, teaching and role models. The family is the safe place where adolescent girls hear and understand values they need in order to thrive. As a staff, we provide such a family setting; where the girls know they are loved. They reciprocate those feelings. We lead, guide, teach by example.
9. Bibliotherapy: We provide young women and her parents with relevant books and tapes to create self awareness and gain from the problem solving skills of others. We use, Reviving Ophelia, The Bible, Hinds Feet on High Places, Rachel’s tears, Parent in Control, Back in Control, Screwtape Letters, Over-Indulged Children, just to name a few.
10. Spiritual Activities: We use prayer, daily Mass, scripture reading, group discussion, role play and modeling to enhance the young woman’s relationship with her Creator.
11. Journaling: Journals are used to express feelings and reactions to events and map progress.
12. Aftercare/Referral: The family helps plan aftercare responsibilities. Roles are clarified; an agreement on rules and responsibilities, supervision, and privileges is reached.

Individual
Care Plans
An individual care plan is developed for each young woman. This plan addresses
unique needs of the student and her family. Care plans are reviewed and approved
by the Director and the Clinical supervisor. The plan is used to help her identify
and solve problems and is reviewed by staff as needed each week. Trinity Teen Solutions, Inc. is always assessing and tailoring treatment to enhance growth for
each unique girl and her family.
Medications
Our philosophy is to manage symptoms and behaviors naturally without medications.
We prefer to use the minimal amount of medications possible if necessary to manage
symptoms. If your daughter is admitted on medications we will evaluate to decrease
medications and hopefully discontinue them prior to discharge.
Trinity Teen Solutions, Inc. is an ever evolving residential treatment center that is monitoring, assessing, evaluating and implementing improvements to enhance the girl and her family’s emotional, spiritual and physical growth.
