Breaking The Chains
Mission Statement  ~ Breaking The Chains is committed to helping individuals recognize and gain freedom from the negative chains that prevent them from living a healthy and purposeful life. This will be accomplished through professional mental health services partnered with intense committed mentorship and consistent community involvement.
Program  Overview
Breaking The Chains is a program created to help teens understand the outcome of their choices; exploring the difficulties in their life that are leading them to drinking, drugs, promiscuity, and other life threatening escape methods.
When teens discover their unique value and significance, they can begin to make positive changes in their lives.
Our teens are encouraged to acknowledge their talents and passions and to direct their energy into something positive. We are challenging teens to invest in others and to never lose sight that they always have a choice to do what is right.
We have been working with teens for over 12 years. The settings include teens in juvenile hall, social service system, group homes, schools, abroad in underdeveloped countries, family inhome services, and in private practice. We believe now, more then ever before that there is a crisis in our schools and communities across the nation and across the world.
After speaking with teens over many years, the one thing that bonds them with a common theme is this; they do not feel that they have a purpose now as teenagers, they are not valued, and have hurts and emotional scars that keep them stuck in their negative cycles and patterns.
Breaking The Chains Therapist Rachel Clark has helped develop a program, Choices and Consequences with the Superior Courts of Orange County. The program has been running for 3 years and continues to grow. She speaks to thousands of teens about their chains and what holds them back from releasing hidden pain and finding their purpose in life.
We have had an overwhelming response from teens who want to continue these conversations. Through these conversations over the years it is clearly evident that the poor choices teens are making relate to pain, grief, loss, pressure, loss of connection, and not feeling accepted.
While educating teens on the affects of alcohol and drugs is important and the consequences related to its use, the subject must go deeper, or we are just putting a band-aidon the real issues and the crises.
Why do teens drink and do drugs in thefirst place? If we start with this question, maybe we can begin to understand the interventions needed to resolve this national crisis. When teens begin to value their lives and realize that they can make a difference in their community, that they have a purpose, something begins to happen. We have see this first hand with the youth that we reach out to.
Our program will focus on the symbolism of CHAINS…We all have them, low self-esteem, insecurity, anxiety, anger, depression, loneliness, addictions, grief, loss, trauma, lack of motivation, rejection, abandonment, and abuse.
The list goes on but the negative patterns, choices, and feelings do not have to. These chains keep us confined and restrained from living out healthy, productive, and purposeful lives. Often we need to allow the negative messages attached to our pain to be broken… set free. The pain is real but the messages attached are not.
Thishealing Journey               begins with  Breaking The Chains    weekend retreat.
[object Object],      different locations approximately 90 minutes       outside LA. Here we will begin to uncover the       hidden scars that our teens have carried for so       many years. ,[object Object],     challenges, and guide them to connect with each      other…to know that they are not alone. ,[object Object],       acceptance, and to understand how very        important their lives are…they are valuable and        irreplaceable.
[object Object],different at times. There will be an all male retreat, and all female, along with different ages ranging from 13 to 22. ,[object Object],Mentors will always be over the age of 21. Mentors will be the same sex as their mentees. ,[object Object],the emotional needs of the teens(mentees) while our Mentor Director actively guides the mentors in building relationships with their new mentees.

Retreat Aftercare
[object Object],minimum of three months. They will be out in the community with them, role modeling, sharing their own personal stories of pain and purpose, and connecting them to the right resources to develop what has been lying dormant inside of them for so long. ,[object Object],These goals will be directed by the mentee, however the entire Breaking The Chains team will help develop the three month plan, which includes mentor, mentee, mentor director, and therapist.
[object Object],a week for a minimum of 2 hours. Mentors will be required to make additional contacts with their teens 2 times a week via telephone. ,[object Object],individually once a week. If teen already has a therapist, this will not be required. Breaking The Chains Therapist will need consent forms to communicate with the teens therapist to collaborate on their treatment plan.
[object Object],once a week to receive coaching, training, feedback, and support. This will allow our mentors to equip themselves for the possible challenges and obstacles they may face with their teens. ,[object Object],support and guidance. Teens are the ones who ultimately suffer from this, disappointed by yet another person in their life. Our program takes this seriously and every effort is made to keep our mentors encouraged, focused, and mentally/physically energized.
Our Mentor Director Ken Henry, will oversee the mentors during the three month time period. He is determined to raise up mentors across the nation, instilling hope again in the lives of our teens and their families. His experience includes supervising group homes of developmentally delayed teens, working one on one with at risk teens, and facilitating the care and treatment of emotionally and abused teens. Ken is currently doing mental health and case management work with former foster young adults.

Breaking the chains

  • 2. Mission Statement ~ Breaking The Chains is committed to helping individuals recognize and gain freedom from the negative chains that prevent them from living a healthy and purposeful life. This will be accomplished through professional mental health services partnered with intense committed mentorship and consistent community involvement.
  • 3.
  • 5. Breaking The Chains is a program created to help teens understand the outcome of their choices; exploring the difficulties in their life that are leading them to drinking, drugs, promiscuity, and other life threatening escape methods.
  • 6. When teens discover their unique value and significance, they can begin to make positive changes in their lives.
  • 7. Our teens are encouraged to acknowledge their talents and passions and to direct their energy into something positive. We are challenging teens to invest in others and to never lose sight that they always have a choice to do what is right.
  • 8. We have been working with teens for over 12 years. The settings include teens in juvenile hall, social service system, group homes, schools, abroad in underdeveloped countries, family inhome services, and in private practice. We believe now, more then ever before that there is a crisis in our schools and communities across the nation and across the world.
  • 9. After speaking with teens over many years, the one thing that bonds them with a common theme is this; they do not feel that they have a purpose now as teenagers, they are not valued, and have hurts and emotional scars that keep them stuck in their negative cycles and patterns.
  • 10. Breaking The Chains Therapist Rachel Clark has helped develop a program, Choices and Consequences with the Superior Courts of Orange County. The program has been running for 3 years and continues to grow. She speaks to thousands of teens about their chains and what holds them back from releasing hidden pain and finding their purpose in life.
  • 11.
  • 12. We have had an overwhelming response from teens who want to continue these conversations. Through these conversations over the years it is clearly evident that the poor choices teens are making relate to pain, grief, loss, pressure, loss of connection, and not feeling accepted.
  • 13. While educating teens on the affects of alcohol and drugs is important and the consequences related to its use, the subject must go deeper, or we are just putting a band-aidon the real issues and the crises.
  • 14. Why do teens drink and do drugs in thefirst place? If we start with this question, maybe we can begin to understand the interventions needed to resolve this national crisis. When teens begin to value their lives and realize that they can make a difference in their community, that they have a purpose, something begins to happen. We have see this first hand with the youth that we reach out to.
  • 15. Our program will focus on the symbolism of CHAINS…We all have them, low self-esteem, insecurity, anxiety, anger, depression, loneliness, addictions, grief, loss, trauma, lack of motivation, rejection, abandonment, and abuse.
  • 16. The list goes on but the negative patterns, choices, and feelings do not have to. These chains keep us confined and restrained from living out healthy, productive, and purposeful lives. Often we need to allow the negative messages attached to our pain to be broken… set free. The pain is real but the messages attached are not.

Ken is currently doing mental health and case management work with former foster young adults. Over the last two years Ken has been an active mentor for at risk teen boys at the Sunburst Youth Academy, ran by the National Guards in Southern California.

  • 38. Our team is a group of highly dedicated individuals who share in the passion to walk along side our hurting teens, giving them a hope and a future. We are a creative team that will break the stereotypical “therapeutic” intervention techniques that simply do not help our youth. This message of healing needs to be heard, it needs to be seen, and teens need to know that they are not alone. Please stand with us in this fight to keep our teens alive…
