Heartlight philosophy.

The Heartlight Philosophy Our Approach to Helping Troubled Teens When unhealthy patterns of dealing with those life issues (lying, selfishness, deceitfulness, manipulation, entitlement, depression, lack of motivation, disrespect for authority, confusion) are present, Heartlight offers a safe and encouraging short-term living environment specifically designed to cring about a change in the teenager's thinking and actions.. Our philosophy entails a biblical counseling approach with five levels of achievement. Each teenager is involved in activities that support the individual through individual and group counseling and 24/7 mentoring. Each of our staff understands that the security and significance we all seek can be found in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, who desires to fill those empty chasms of life and give meaning, purpose, and direction to our life. A Word About Corporal Punishment Simply put, Heartlight does not condone, participate in, or inflict corporal punishment (any form of inflicting pain or physical deprivation) on the teenagers in its care. Our policy reflects our belief that corporal punishment is counter to efforts to build relationships for the purpose of correcting unhealthy patterns of inappropriate behavior. Instead, we have learned that a more effective and teachable form of discipline entails the loss of certain privileges and added chores for the errant resident. When chores are added, Heartlight staff participate along with the resident, using it as an opportunity to relate.
