Dr. Glasser always said that the main cause of human misery lies in the inability to make and keep good relationships. Although group home programs are not designed to be permanent placements, we can use what time we have to build positive and supportive relationships.
As we use our time to build good relationships, we are also teaching the children how to build those good relationship so that when they graduate to a less strict environment they will have the tool to know how to build those same relationships.
