(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 29, 2007 ) Therapeutic Camp for Troubled Teen Boys ages 13-17 Reinforces Positive Behaviors

Austin, TX -- Resolution Ranch offers a peaceful, natural setting to help troubled teens regain their self esteem, confidence and a commitment to personal growth through change. Each new boy is assessed by the Resolution Ranch program director who designs an individualized troubled teen program to meet each boy’s particular needs. By creating an environment that stresses meaningful sharing and honest relationships, Resolution Ranch programs help troubled teens rediscover values that can help them succeed in life.

“Every teenage boy we work with has an individualized program created to best suit their personal needs to foster a positive environment. Our programs have been developed to enhance all areas of each troubled teen lives and help them learn to adapt to situations where they need additional help. Resolution Ranch strives to help troubled teens build stronger relationships in their communities as well as to succeed in life,” states Neal Staab, Administrator of Resolution Ranch.

Resolution Ranch’s 12 Step Program offers a spiritual focus to help troubled teens learn respect, build character and confidence. Each boy works through the 5 levels of achievement until they are ready to resume their lives in the outside world with strengthened coping capabilities.

At Resolution Ranch teens develop positive self-evaluation and introspection skills. At each learning level, boys take part in an activity or response writing that is read and evaluated by a counselor. As Level 1 Ranch Hands new boys learn respect, awareness and honesty. Level 2 Cattle Men focus on learning goal setting, confidence and responsibility. Level 3 Ropers learn humility, resolve and character building. Level 4 Wranglers work on helpfulness, relationship building, dealing with change, and making amends. Level 5 Cowboys learn about hope, affirmation and commitment.

As each boy works on his individual goals, feedback from the group builds confidence and commitment to recovery. Group therapy sessions allow feelings to be openly expressed in a nurturing environment. A "group" can be called at any time by any member of the community. Peer affirmation and evaluation helps teens counter negative behaviors and reinforce positive behaviors.
