Strengthening Bonds.
Triumph Youth Services utilizes Positive Peer Culture (PPC) to empower young men to be self confident leaders that can make honest, positive life changes. PPC is ultimately designed to replace a negative culture with a more positive one. Our PPC program is aimed to develop pro-social behavior through the development of a therapeutic community. It is proven that changes in these behaviors promote ongoing and lasting positive change. This therapeutic community promotes a social environment that takes on both therapeutic and healing properties instead of maintaining negative behaviors. Through time peers participating in our PPC program will develop and maintain positive behaviors. Some of these behaviors include:
- Responsibility to oneself, responsibility to the group, and responsibility to authority.
- Effective communication.
- An improved ability to identify personal problems and make more rational decisions.
- Individual members responding positively to the influences of the community.
- Individuals demonstrate social responsibility to the community, and the community assists students by providing reinforcement for pro-social behavior.
- Censure of maladaptive behavior.
- Each member has a sense that he can make a significant positive contribution to their overall peer group.
- A code of conduct that assures a safe environment and promotes pro-social behavior and growth.
- A sense of belonging, self awareness, a more positive self image and development of a higher level of concern for oneself and others.
When the student are doing well and progressing in the attributes mentioned, we reward them with activities that further validate great behavior. Recently some of the students had the opportunity to attend the Sportsman’s Expo. Everyone had a great time and they were able to strengthen bonds with their peers.
