The Journey House Community with Dept of Children and Families Secretary Eloise Anderson
Community Building dramatically improves outcomes in a broad range of existing social service and criminal justice programs. It does this in two key ways:
First, Community Building directly impacts criminogenic and other key success factors such as: antisocial attitudes, negative peer associations and interactions, lack of empathy, minimal problem-solving capability, and difficulty with self-control. The process instills prosocial skills that promote independence and self-sufficiency such as: anger management, empathy/compassion, communication, listening, collaboration, impulse control, and other unproductive attitudes and behaviors that are difficult for traditional curriculum-based programs to address.
Second, Community Building creates highly effective learning environments. After a Community Building experience, groups are less resistant, more cooperative and “teachable”, more willing to solve problems, and more engaged in activities. This increased cooperation, or “value congruence,” between individual members and the group results in a highly effective learning environment. The participants’ increased willingness and positive engagement translates into improved outcomes, especially in more traditional curriculum-based programs (literacy, parenting, job interviewing, vocational and technical skill development, conflict resolution, etc.).
