Learning to be independent and successful is complicated enough with out having to deal with issues that are more serious. At Bonneville Canyon, we realize that most of our students are missing a lot of essential skills that lead to good decision making. We focus on this subject by teaching them basic life skills. This builds a strong base and adds confidence so they can make changes in their lives. While working on their issues, we instill routine and teamwork. Living in a house with others involves planning and cooperation. The students are responsible for maintaining all aspects of the home. Menu planning, grocery shopping, cleaning maintenance, and cooking all the meals. Budget planning is also learned. The students are given a monthly budget in which they need to compensate for, rent, groceries, utilities, and activity expenses. They need to maintain this and ensure that all expenses are paid and still have money left over for a savings plan. In additional to the financial planning that is done, the students learn to respect and adjust to other peoples needs and requests. Interacting with the other roommates and achieving a healthy workable environment takes teamwork, patience, and understanding. After learning these skills one will become stronger and more mature, enabling him a better chance to success in life.
