Therapy
The Project Patch therapeutic program has been accredited by the Joint Commission and has been found by Boise State University to be very effective in changing the lives of struggling teens.
Group process is central to our therapeutic program. But the real healing comes through the caring relationships boys form with dedicated staff whom they come to learn they can trust.
In whatever activity your son is involved, there are always teachable moments, which makes mentoring and counseling meaningful. The counseling staff uses a cognitive behavioral approach, which is based on the premise that actions stem from beliefs that are based on thoughts.
Patch’s therapeutic program is comprised of five components:
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps each resident learn to respond to emotional needs rather than react in harmful ways. Skills focus not only on avoiding regretful explosive episodes like self-harm or property damage, but teach clients how to respond to their true needs and live with less regrets. Learning DBT involves skills training, practice groups, daily diary cards, evaluating behaviors and making better decisions. We have modified our DBT program to focus on faith elements associated with Christian principles and practices. Learn more.
Behavior Modification helps each resident learn responsible living. Interaction with peers and their response to staff determine the privileges that are earned at three program levels.
Counseling addresses your son’s mental and emotional issues. Goals are established to address each issue. Individual therapy with an assigned therapist occurs on a weekly basis. In addition, he participates in twice-weekly sessions of group therapy in which group dynamics, individual issues, counseling assignments, and other issues identified by staff and peers are discussed.
Family establishes goals that rebuild healthy family dynamics, relationships, and communication.
Educational evaluations of each boy’s academic capabilities and needs are made in order to establish a suitable goal that will help him succeed in school after leaving Patch.
Aftercare aims at providing boys with the best possible opportunity for success after they have completed the Patch treatment program. Each boy develops a prevention plan with his counselor to address areas such as family home environments, peer relationships, and future education goals. Completing the Youth Ranch program also qualifies the immediate family to attend The Family Experience during an alumni weekend for free within the first year of graduation.
