This episode of the Becoming Centered Podcast begins a new arc that focuses on how to build treatment structures and interventions into every minute of the residential shift.  In a treatment program, there will typically be some treatment structures like individual therapy, or even group therapy, that pull kids from the everyday residential structures.  That’s certainly of treatment value, however, there can also be treatment structures and interventions that are baked into every part of the residential day, from how kids wake up to how activities and meals are run to how kids go to bed at night.  These structures, and ways staff interact with the kids, build resilience, self-regulation abilities, teach concrete social and life-skills, and teach kids how to develop and maintain healthy relationships.
