Philosophy

  • Successful programs stress process and outcome evaluations and continuous improvement
  • Strengths based and behaviorally focused services empower families to own and solve their problems
  • Family setbacks are not viewed as failures but are expected and are an opportunity for additional skill development
  • Treatment interventions must be time-limited with a beginning and end, thus allowing families to utilize their new skills
  • Successful treatment must replicate the rules, values and consequences of society
