Growth is a measurable process that requires healthy conditions and ample time. The Evangelhouse Christian Academy LifeLeaf treatment model creates the right conditions, the right amount of time, and a gauge to measure spiritual, therapeutic, academic, social, and physical growth.
Each stage of therapeutic development has its own set of tasks, privileges, and time requirements. Stages serve as a way to measure progress. As students work their way through each stage, parents gain clarity for setting goals, acknowledge positive accomplishments, and highlight what actions need to be taken next.
Parents have a great deal of input into goal setting, treatment planning, and stage promotions. Parents maintain contact with their daughter through frequent phone calls, mail, and in-person visits.
The typical student takes twelve months to realize all five therapeutic stages, but it can take up to eighteen months. In that time, parents have the benefit of seeing God work in their daughter’s life in a measurable way that impacts the entire family.
Students grow in each Lifeleaf through 5 stages. In the first stage, students deal with overcoming resistance and facing the issues that brought them to Evangelhouse.
In stage 2, students begin working on their treatment goals. The 5 stages guide goal setting and measure progress.
Students work on their issues in group and individual therapy in stage 3. Students grow therapeutically, spiritually, physically and socially in this stage.
As students grow through stages 4 and 5 they work beyond behavior symptoms and overcome underlying “root” problems.
Finally, students internalize change as they complete the Lifeleaf process.
