PERSONAL GREATNESS PROGRAM
The core philosophy of both
Moonridge Academy and of Kolob Canyon Residential
Treatment Center is that there is greatness within each of
us. We all have a special place where courage, love, hope,
honor, and dreams live, where strength and ability lay
waiting to be used. This is the “real” us.
Most of us—and virtually all
at-risk adolescents—live our lives
 ignoring
our strength and our abilities and act, instead, in ways
that destroy our happiness and peace. Before coming to our
program, our girls have been conditioned by society,
media, friends, and sometimes even family members to focus
attention on their weaknesses and their perceived
failures. Oblivious to their potential and greatness,
these wonderful, capable girls are spiraling downward in
self-destruction.
The Personal Greatness Program
is the result of much study and research into teenage
depression and behaviors. It is a unique, self-paced
journey of personal discovery that helps our girls tear
down the wall of self-hatred and build a new wall with
layer upon layer of evidence of their unique talents,
special gifts and abilities. Almost one hundred
interactive therapeutic assignments are completed on seven
different levels that focus on basic principles of
happiness while the girls are in the program. An eighth
level with additional learning assignments is then
completed within the first thirty days of leaving campus.
Both girls and their parents
repeatedly observe that girls going through the Personal
Greatness Program, coupled with our intensive,
age-specific therapy, rediscover what it means to become
happy again and to love themselves. For many, this is the
first time in a long time. The Personal Greatness Program
has been widely recognized as a major factor for change in
these young women. |
