Program for troubled teens.

Sometimes teenagers reach a point in their lives where outside help may be necessary.  Resolving some issues within the home is absolutely possible, but there comes a point where some youth would do better in a different environment with some outside help.  This is an incredibly difficult decision for any parent/care-taker to make.  But many times, it’s the best decision.  Early intervention and treatment can be key to helping troubled teens. Choosing the right program for troubled teens is also incredibly important. Triumph Youth Services is licensed as a Residential Treatment Facility by the State of Utah Department of Human Services Office of Licensing. Triumph Youth Services was established and has been fully licensed since 1998 by Sterling Lyman.  One of the unique aspects of Triumph is Sterling’s direct involvement, love, and care for each boy in the program. Sterling is passionate about his work and ability to serve. Along with helping troubled youth every day, he is actively involved in many charities and he gets the youth involved as much as possible as well. He has spent his life committed to the success and personal growth of youth and will do anything it takes to make a difference. The mission of Triumph is “Building individuals of truth, integrity and accountability who inspire faith in a Higher Power and are leaders in a quest for excellence.” Our philosophy at Triumph is  “Understanding the vitality and survivability of any community is contingent upon the ability of its youth (our youth) to enter into meaningful societal relationships by observing and looking upon themselves. It is essential that they be taught the skills and values necessary to function in society in a healthy and lawful manner and to reach their full potential, in order to lead a genuine life. It is essential that our youth have a continuum of care in order to be fully prepared to enter the world. They must gain the courage, skills, and experience necessary to be an integral part of the family unit, and be able to function as positive contributing members of society. Thus, making a greater chance for them to choose a positive path in life, and have the motivation to work for ultimate success. We at Triumph Youth Services believe that all of the youth need plenty of praise for their accomplishments, but they must also take accountability for their actions and assume responsibility for their own role in society. Without taking this action they will continue to digress and shift the blame for their actions on to others. We believe that without taking personal accountability they will not internalize the need to commit to real and long lasting change or recovery. Along with taking accountability the youth need to build strong and appropriate relationships to assist in the positive development of change. We believe that a principle based program is vital for building a foundation for successful living. It can foster positive growth and development in the lives of youth and their families as they participate in our program.” And our motto at Triumph is “Work Hard Play Hard Triumph believes it is vitally important for our students to learn, understand and appreciate the importance of work ethic and be able to apply it to their lives.  Our “Work Hard Play Hard” motto helps us to achieve this goal. This is implemented through charity, meaningful community service, school work, therapy/program assignments, chores and apprenticeships/employment. After working hard it is equally important to Play Hard. In order to achieve long term success and recovery it is imperative for these young men to learn how to have healthy positive fun while remaining sober, and maintaining personal integrity at the same time. At Triumph Youth Services, we teach our students how to have realistic fun at appropriate times on a consistent basis. Personal and group improvement in multiple recreational activities enhances proficiency and increases self worth. Choosing realistic and positive recreational activities also helps put our students in situations where they will have better opportunities to meet and associate with successful and positive peers in safe settings. Being around positive influences and enjoying positive activities will further increase self esteem, involvement and the overall opportunity for success. While at Triumph Youth Services, each student will participate in daily recreational activities.” For more information, please visit the Triumph Youth Services website to see how we can help!
