Emotional Growth

Phase meetings provide an opportunity for students on the same level to explore issues specific to that phase of the program. Topics include:

Phase I: Orientation and Challenge

In Phase I meetings students will begin to work through emotions and acceptance issues associated with being at SRA. The meeting will focus on understanding the philosophy of the program including; accountability, responsibility, respect, feedback, confronting self-limiting beliefs, emotions and behaviors.

Phase II: Change and Action

Phase II will emphasize the process of change and taking action. Students will explore teamwork, leadership, trust, taking risks and honoring their voice in the community. Students will begin to understand boundaries and owning their own reality, as well as, the relationship between keeping agreements and building trust with themselves, the community and their parents.

Phase III: Results and Success

On Phase III students begin to internalize many of the changes they have made while at SRA. Phase III meetings focuses on taking a leadership role in the community, service, looking at results, being complete and building on success. Through this process students continue to become more accountable and consistent as they increase their self awareness, confidence and resiliency.

Phase IV: Commitment to Excellence

During Phase IV students solidify many of the changes and successes they have created while at SRA. Phase IV meetings provide an opportunity for students to look at their progress while addressing fears they have concerning leaving SRA, as well as, the reemergence of old patterns of behavior. In Phase IV meetings students support one another in creating plans for the next phase of their lives while maintaining their relationships and responsibilities at SRA. Phase IV meetings also emphasize the importance of commitment, balance and excellence in maintaining honor and integrity.
