Behavioral Modification
High standards exist. Inappropriate behavior is confronted, consequated and redirected, while appropriate behavior is reinforced and rewarded. A merit system is used requiring each girl to earn her status and privileges through a standard program using a level system.
TASKS
(Teen Accountability, Self-Esteem and Keys to Success)
Students participate in a series of seminars designed specifically for Cross Creek Manor. During the TASKS seminars, girls work on specific issues such as: accountability, honesty, integrity, trust, choices, responsibility, anger and especially self-esteem. After the girl has completed her series of seminars then the parents are invited to attend a Parent Seminar and two Parent/Child Seminars. Parent/Child seminars are designed to assist each family in rebuilding the family unit.
Activities
On and off grounds activities provide a proper balance of recreation, exercise, learning, personal development and social opportunities. Initially all activities are on grounds. Over a period of time girls may earn the privilege of participating in off grounds activities. The facility is located near several National and State parks which are wonderful for off grounds activities. A variety of other activities include cultural events, water sports, bowling, movies, etc.
Academics
Cross Creek Manor has an extremely progressive academic program. Students do schoolwork on an individualized, competency based, college bound curriculum. Each student is assessed upon admission and then assisted in designing their specific course of study. Students are able to work at their own pace and maximize the learning process.
Cost
Compared to other programs with similar professional services, Cross Creek Manor is a cost-effective program. In addition, we have several resources available that can help fund this program.
Growing and Winning
The combination of therapy, TASKS, education, activities and daily structure assists the girls in making new choices in their lives.
Working together with our parents as a team, is a key component to the success of the program. Families have frequent phone contact with their daughter's therapist and case manager, and when appropriate the girl is included. Communication with the family is instrumental in addressing issues, creating a family purpose and vision, reaching understandings, and setting goals. Commitment to each girl and their family is one of the reasons Cross Creek Manor is so successful.
