The mothers are required to attend American Red Cross Child Care Courses every month and become certified in each course. Other community agencies work alongside Bethel to ensure that the babies are developing properly and that the mothers know how to stimulate and encourage their child in the development process. Capacity for this program is 6 beds. The main use of this program is for the current residents of Bethel's other three programs to allow them to gain control of some behavior which has necessitated removal from their cottage. Occasionally, it is determined that these placements may be determined to need a longer term of stay, at which time the Program manager will make a referral to one of the other three Bethel programs.
Counseling is offered on an individual and group level.
It directly rewards the resident who works at living by acceptable rules of behavior by giving point recognition, increased privileges and freedom, and increased allowance. It is believed that with the proper, dedicated use of G.R.O.W.T.H., each resident's placement at Bethel Bible Village has a greater potential to become a meaningful, successful experience. Every good and perfect gift is from above.
