Goal 1 Strategies
- Create opportunities for new participants and peers to get to know one another.
- Support members with identifying areas where they are the most and the least comfortable, and brainstorm ways to improve their experience.
- Spend time listening to the person’s story and reflect back to them the strengths that you hear. Listen for and comment on positive attributes that you genuinely admire.
- Identify the skills required to live in residential treatment. Applaud the skills they have and ask if they’d like to build new interpersonal skills.
- Help the person create a schedule for themselves so that they know where and when to be at different activities.
- To the degree possible, give JOH members options for outlining which program activities they’d like to attend and how they’ll spend their free time.
