Description of Service:

This group gives the youth an opportunity to examine how issues of respect and responsibility are intertwined within their family system and social lives. By examining the two concepts in detail the youth will come to realize how they have held distorted cognitions and how a more informed perception may provide alternative, adaptive choices that allow them to preserve dignity and self-esteem while complying with demanding family expectations.

Goals of Service:

The youth will be able to clearly identify how issues of respect and responsibility affect their interactions with family members, authority figure and peers. The will be able to differentiate between courtesy and respect, personal and parental responsibilities and their individual social responsibilities. The youth will be able to articulate what it means to be self responsible in providing for their personal safety, mental and physical well-being.
