Stages of Growth
Seedlings
Before a seed can develop and grow, it must be planted. In this phase, using care to ensure they are not crowded, all clients are introduced to the environment and their surroundings including the direct care team. To prepare for personal growth, an outline is created for each individual based on her specific needs. At Providence we recognize some seeds require sun to grow while others need shade with less frequent watering. It is vital to life to understand the individuals needs and create a process in which she can thrive. This stage generally occurs over the initial 4 weeks through assessments and evaluations by clinical staff and educators.
Rooting
This stage is one of the most crucial stages at Providence. This stage is where the individual begins to accept their environment and the support surrounding them and begin to embrace Providence Pass. They are continually nurtured and helped with individualized care so they can take root and start to effect internal reflection and recognition. Self-awareness and responsibility for one’s actions begin to occur.
Stemming
In this stage we begin to see an outward change in each unique individual. Behaviors and attitudes present with more self-respect and respect for others. Relationships are developing and clients are more likely to behave in an authentic and genuine manner. This is vital in attaining skills to form a solid foundation for relationships with others and one’s self.
Budding
In this stage we begin to see self-forgiveness, continued growth in areas of self-awareness and self-love where the individual grasp hold of the beauty within- just waiting to be unveiled. At Providence Pass, we believe every person is wonderfully and beautifully made by our Creator. This beauty is often buried deep beneath anxiety and depression and other contributing factors. Clients learn tools and develop skills to work towards overall wellnesswith improved levels of function. The inner beauty begins to present on the exterior through feelings of happiness, contentment, confidence and purpose.
Flowering
In this stage of life, the true beauty evolves. This is seen through an increased ability to focus. Self-discipline and precise control. Understanding environmental elements surrounding the flower can affect the flowers ability to open.It is in this stage where expansion and empowerment take effect. Positive character and internal values have been planted, watered, nurtured and are blooming from within.
The Glorious Unfolding
This stage is our graduation stage. This stage occurs when the individual has allowed the process to make internal change and accept this new beginning. This stage is where we implement skills for sustainability and continued growth following her return home. This continued growth recognizes the need for spiritual nurturing as we embrace the course and set out to fulfill Gods purpose in our lives.
