Treatment centers for years were based on a behavior-modification model which can be abusive and doesn't work. Research continually proves that one of the most effective ways to inspire hope and motivate change is the relationship a troubled teenage girl has with her therapist. New Haven focuses its entire program around modeling and developing healthy, healing relationships. Struggling adolescent girls are much more likely to change in a nurturing atmosphere, where they encounter kind, competent, virtuous people. This allows girls to practice new skills and positive behaviors in a context of health, so that they are prepared to return home to the relationships that matter most - family relationships.
