CHAPTER V:
BEHAVIORAL MANAGEMENT
LEARNINGEXPERIENC
A E Experience (LE) is an action or
Learning activity
given to a resident who was subjected to Haircut or
General Meeting who did an infraction to correct or
modify a behavior. LE may be task-oriented, written
task or peer interactions. Since TCMP is educational
rather than punitive in its approach to behavioral
change, the LE should be done in a way that would
remind the person of the negative attitude he has
done without compromising his human dignity. The
intent of the LE is not to stigmatize the person but to
motivate him to make restitutions for the wrong
doings he committed and redeem himself in the
community.
EXAMPLES OF L.E
If a resident has been missing out in his
responsibilities in the kitchen, he can be
assigned as in charge of cleaning the kitchen
for a specific period of time.
If a resident repeatedly leaves his bed in
disarray, he can be asked to provide
orientation and supervision to new residents
on how to keep their beds neat at all times.

BANS
Bans are sanctions to members who commit repeatedly in
fractions or violation to the Cardinal Rules by
prohibiting,disallowing or limiting an activity or affiliation to
a group.
It somehow curtails some freedom of movement and
association. This sanction causes unpleasant feelings which
people try to avoid hence may evoke behavioral changes in
the future. It must be applied consistently after the adverse
behavior to emphasize the negative consequences.
Privileges limited should have impact but must not limit
individual ability to meet personal hygiene,nutritional and
emotional needs. A resident subjected to Bans must be first
processed in a General Meeting called for the purpose.
EXAMPLE OF BANS
-Regulation of visiting privilege
-Banned from attending Entertainment and
Recreational activities
EXPULSION
In extreme cases, when a resident is incorrigible and
becomes a threat to the community
(Instigator,initiator of jail disturbances), the Director
with the recommendation of the Disciplinary Board
may transfer him/her to the nearest jail facility with an
appropriate Court Order.
