Safe Landing’s motto, “Loving Arms Negating Dysfunctional Ideology through Non-violence and Guidance” is a strong tenet we use when raising and overseeing youth. It is our belief that through the use of positive reinforcement, refocusing, correcting thinking errors, and encouraging the resident to assume responsibility for choices and behavior, Safe Landing residents will grow into more positive d
irections, which will enable the setting of more positive directional life goals. It is extremely important that residents learn to “own it” so that they may experience the empowerment of taking responsibility for their choices instead of taking the victim stance. Safe Landing does not tolerate the use of physical force between residents, between residents and staff or between staff. Our environment is one that will reinforce that effective verbal communication will convey more than hitting someone or something. Furthermore, our goal includes the setting of firm boundaries, rules and expectations of each individual that will be conducive to producing effectual outcomes of each of the residents in the time they spend at Safe Landing.
