Residential Programs For Troubled Teens

Today, there are as many treatment methods and philosophies as there are residential programs for troubled teens. Some treatment centers use Positive Peer Culture as part of their programs for struggling teens. The effects of peer pressure are not at all difficult to understand, as most parents have, at some point, experienced peer pressure themselves and have certainly noticed its effects on their children.

Most discussions about peer pressure revolve around negativity. This is because negative peer pressure is frequently a major part of destructive behaviors in teens. However, peer pressure doesn’t have to be negative and can be used to influence teens to behave in positive ways. Some treatment centers employ positive peer pressure to encourage the development of constructive behaviors and habits.

At Liahona Academy, we use a variety of formats to help troubled teen boys begin leading more constructive and positive lives. One of the formats we use is Positive Peer Culture. The importance of the group process is a major part of our treatment and teens encourage each other to meet goals set both individually and as a group. Since all teens like to have a feeling of belonging and acceptance, this method of encouragement is very successful.

While in our care at Liahona Academy, your teen will learn that behaviors–both negative and positive–affect the entire group. Your teen will learn responsibility and gain immediate feedback on his actions. Under the supervision and guidance of our skilled counselors, he will both give and receive help from his peers. Each day at Liahona Academy, your son will work towards goals targeted at developing respect for authority, greater self-respect, self-discipline, and accountability.
