Look up the term ‘group home’ and you’ll probably find a definition that goes something like this: “a residence that offers housing and personal care services such as meals, supervision, and transportation.”

“Meals, supervision and transportation.”  That sounds okay.  But is it enough for a teenage boy who is struggling with learning and behavior problems?  Will it meet all of his needs, not just his physical ones?  Probably not.
Far from being simply a ‘school’, Advent Home was designed as a unique group home that would bring complete healing to troubled teens.  The heart of the program is Maturation Therapy®, a treatment model based on the belief that physical needs, though important, must be accompanied by emotional, social, mental and spiritual training.  How does all this take place? A detailed daily schedule is vital.  From the moment he wakes up at 6am, until he goes to bed at 9:15pm, each boy knows where he should be and what he should be doing.  Sound rigid?
