Your daughter's locus, or center point, of control is central to how she believes she can manage her own life. If she believes that she is being controlled externally (i.e, by family, luck, a perpetrator or society) she will lack a sense of personal control in her life. New Haven is dedicated to helping your daughter change her locus of control from external to internal, thus empowering her to make positive changes in her life and in the lives of those around her. Such a change encourages responsibility, accountability and empowerment.
