Triumph Youth Services utilizes a Cognitive Behavioral Treatment model including Positive Peer Culture as part of its constant therapeutic milieu. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps solve problems such as dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and cognitions, through goal-oriented approaches.
Commonly used techniques include: having students keep a diary of significant events, associated feelings, thoughts, and behaviors; questioning and testing cognitions, thinking errors, evaluations, and beliefs that might be unhelpful and unrealistic; gradually facing activities which may have been avoided and implementing new ways of behaving and reacting. Relaxation, mindfulness, and distraction techniques are also commonly included.
