The mission of the Boise Center For Family Growth and Development
is to teach families how to make choices so each member can “explore,
challenge, learn, and grow together.” The center's staff sees their
intensives as a way to give families who have acting out children
a chance to heal as a family, rather than to send the child with
problems away to a residential program.
The Center “works with families in a manner that creates opportunity
for every member to experience optimal emotional growth and development
in a rich environment of support, nurturing, understanding, and
respect.” The families start an intensive three-day experience
on a Monday, working with the staff to determine each family member’s
strengths and weaknesses. “Our medical staff carefully evaluates
each member's physical and emotional health, working closely with
our Master Level licensed clinical staff to make each participant’s
experience as fulfilling as possible.”
“We value the family and it’s structure and believe family preservation
is of paramount importance.” They utilize their “unique understanding
of family dynamics and the challenges of keeping a family structure
healthy in these difficult times." They feel even families
who do not have overwhelming problems with drug abuse or the like,
can benefit from this experience. |
