education and behavioral therapy to pre-adolescent and adolescent youth.
Provo Canyon School maintains status as a comprehensive treatment
center and takes pride in the results-focused, individualized attention it
provides.
One emphasized aspect of the educational experience involves strategies of
empowerment rather than enablement. The school sees enabling as the
minimization of children’s exposure to real life by doing too much for them
and overprotecting them from consequences. By contrast, empowering
youth focuses on providing them with a sense of control over their own life
as soon as possible.
To accomplish this, adults should offer validation and emotional support
without “talking down” or discounting what the child has to say. Other
components of empowerment include demonstrating faith in the child and
respecting their privacy. In addition, adults should listen without judgment,
communicate respectfully, and offer to solve problems together.
