Project Patch InformationProject PATCH Ranch is not a locked facility and is not an appropriate resource for the criminally violent, sexual offenders, the mentally or emotionally disturbed, nor is it a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility. Children with challenges of thinking errors, anger management, authority issues, peer relationships, issues of abandonment or loss, or history of sexual abuse, to list a few, have the greatest potential for successful treatment.Project PATCH Ranch will provide a stable, caring, family-like environment for children who need alternative living arrangements. The program is designed to function as much like a family as possible. Age appropriate education, independent living skills, pre-employment training, as well as group therapy will be included in daily activities. Our goal is to enable the young people to be more self-sufficient when no longer in a sheltered environment. The goal at Project PATCH Ranch is to help young people learn the difference between positive (appropriate) and negative (inappropriate) behavior and the resulting consequences. During their stay at the Ranch, clients move through a series of levels. Clients are given more responsibilities and privileges and fewer restrictions as they move up the levels. This "level program" helps clients gain the skills they will need for the rest of their lives. It focuses on both the individual and the group because one of the most important ways of learning and changing individual behavior is cooperating within a group and learning to work as a team. Participation is the most important part of the level program. The entire group, not just the individual, must encourage appropriate behaviors. Once this happens, individuals will naturally change as a result of interacting and living with others who are working to change. The level program must offer more protection and rewards for appropriate behavior than inappropriate behavior. The peer group must handle any inappropriate behavior in such a way that it is extremely discouraged. In this way the group encourages its members to be accountable and to change. When this happens, both the individual and the group will succeed. | |
