Program Pillars
Home »
In order for Launch to fulfill its mission, the team must address all aspects of the person. We have spent the last few years developing our program and all the elements that help us ensure that our clients are prepared to face the world. There are eight main areas of work, which we call Pillars. All combined, they lead to the ultimate goal of integration. We find all of these areas deeply important to explore for those in treatment.
Self-Esteem/Self-Worth
Clients who have mental health disorders, addiction issues, or require life-skills support, many times experience low self-esteem and self-worth. They don’t feel they’re where they need to be based on society pressure, comparing themselves to their peers, or their own values. We can be our own worst critic and we want to bring reality to that inner monologue. We help them identify their successes and strengths. Sometimes, people can’t see the good in themselves, and we are here to help them find it. The following are a few examples of potential group topics:
- Cultivating Confidence: The Changing Self
- Self-Talk
- Unmasked: Identity and Self Worth
- Wellness
- Positive Psychology
- Developing Meaning
- Core Beliefs
- Reprogramming Your Algorithm
- Generational Self-Worth
- Action Precedes Motivation
- Internal vs. External Validation
- Determinants of Self-Worth
Arts/Passion/Creativity
The arts provide clients an outlet to express themselves as another avenue for self-discovery. We offer workshops in the arts to encourage emotional exploration through creative writing, music, art and improvisational theatre. Clients are given the opportunity to feel a sense of accomplishment through the arts as well as finding new communities of support. Examples of potential topics for group discussion include the following:
- My Future/My Dreams
- Exploring Alternate Activities
- Music Soundtrack for the Life
- Exploring the Self Through Writing
- Body Map
- Lost Passions
- Creating Positive Outlets for Energy
- Creativity vs. Consumption
- Self-Expression through Creative Mediums
- Giving Back: What is Your Why?
- Journaling for Awareness
- Passions: For Joy or Job?
