Mission, Goal and Ojectives

The mission of Three Springs is the healing and restoration of children and their families. Every resource at our disposal, be it financial, human or operational, shall be directed toward this purpose. Our efforts will always be governed by the principles of honor, respect, teamwork, responsibility, accountability and honesty.

The goal of Three Springs adolescent behavioral treatment programs is to help troubled children find lasting solutions. Accomplishing this goal requires patience, compassion, discipline, understanding and a holistic treatment philosophy of healing children - mind, body and spirit.

The mileposts or objectives employed to measure progress toward the ultimate goal of family reunification are easily measured using a stage system to move residents through the program. The treatment objectives of Three Springs staff members are those of parents and of the children themselves:

·                   Anger Management

·                   Learning Responsibility

·                   Improving Decision–Making Skills

·                   Learning Coping Skills

·                   Gaining Respect for Self and Others

·                   Making Academic Improvement

·                   Gaining Empathy for Others

·                   Working Through Underlying Issues

We combine caring guidance with discipline and peer group interaction under the watchful eye of experienced treatment staff members. Troubled teens are led down a path of self-discovery and introspection enabling them to understand and deal with the emotions, causes and consequences of their behavior.
