By learning new ways to deal with problems and changing inappropriate behaviors, the girls resolve conflicts, establish trust relationships, feel secure and accepted, identify and clarify problem issues, and focus on the future. The intense peer group problem-solving process teaches residents to talk out, not act out or ignore, their problems. Staff and other residents help each girl see herself as a person of worth and dignity.
Staff plans group, school, church and community activities to build relationships.
