4. Depression- Once they realize that there is no going back and their
parents are not going to rescue them, they become depressed and fall
back into hopelessness.
5. Acceptance- There is a point where they finally surrender and give
into the change, the environment, and the process.

LOVE AND BELONGINGNESS
PHYSIOLOGICAL
The first two layers, Physiological needs then safety and security, are
supposed to be established by the parents; however, a lot of the time
individuals dont have exactly what they need which is what causes the
turmoil and chaos in their lives. The next two layers are the ones that we
focus on building up and instilling into their make-up, which are love and
belongingness and self-esteem. Again, the daily activities and living help this
happen with the overall objective that they will, themselves, reach the top
layer of the pyramid, self-actualization.

SCOTT: Every group and its dynamics are different every single time. So its
hard to say what I think about it other than it works. It works slower for some
and faster for others, some find it more difficult and reset more than their
peers, its a process that is different for everyone and all of the
circumstances. With that being said, in all of the time I have spent in the field
there has only been one kid who didnt leave better; he actually convinced
his parents to pull him during their visit and ended up becoming a missing
person after he ran away.

grow and change. We even have people who have gone through this process
and actually been a part of the program come back to help out. Nature does
something pretty amazing when you open up and let it. Im not just talking
about for the kids but, for all of us as well. Its a journey to say the least its
an incredible one to be a part of.
