Long Term Progam
This is a twelve to eighteen month program for young men who are considered the most at-risk and whose behaviors have escalated to the point that they can no longer remain in their homes due to the risk they pose to themselves and others.
Young men who meet the criteria for this program will work through four-phases, moving to the next phase upon completion of specific goals at their current phase.
While behavioral goals will be the primary indicators of readiness for the next phase, the real indicators that lasting change is taking place is by observing the hearts of the students; are they becoming motivated to do the right thing because of a right heart.
This will determine the speed through which each young man works himself through the program.
Four Phase Program
Our students work through a four-phase program. The phases, called Learner, Achiever, Leader, and Innovator, lay the groundwork for the progress we hope each of our students gain from the phase. With each phase comes more responsibility and more privileges.
Progress through each phase is determined by an objective set of criteria that we have established to ensure the best possibility of success.
Once the students have mastered the goals at their current phase, they move to the next phase, gaining more trust and contact with their family at each phase. This allows for an orderly and structured permanent return to the student's home in a way that is positive for both the student and his family.
Salem staff and the family of the student work together to through this process in a way that best benefits the each member of the family.
