Program Description:
Our class operates on a belief based system. We believe
that all people make mistakes and need to be allowed to
learn from these experiences.
We
believe that survival is dependant on 4 basic needs. The
need to feel loved, the need to be masterful, the need
to be independant and the need to have fun. When our needs
are met we are able to become strong individuals who succeed.
In
order to achieve success in a belief based atmosphere
we need to have bottom lines to determine what is acceptable
behavior and what is not acceptable.
