New Dominion School-General Information New Dominion School, based in Western maryland. Specializing In Care and Treatment Of troubled Adolescents. Treatment and education are interrelated. http://www.nd.allconet.org/
Extractions: Employment Opportunities New Dominion School A Division of Three Springs, Inc. Welcome to New Dominion - Let us take you on a tour. Located in the mountains of western Maryland, New Dominion School of Maryland provides residential treatment care for boys 11-17 years of age. Established in 1980, New Dominion School assists teenagers in taking positive control of their lives, realizing their self-worth, developing self confidence and motivation to succeed both socially and academically. Operating on a year round basis, the program is structured around a natural environment that is well-disciplined, nurturing, optimistic, and conducive to bringing out the fullest potential of each youth. Treatment and education are interrelated. As a student builds self confidence and problem solving skills, he learns to take responsibility for himself and his education. Within the framework of New Dominion's outdoor treatment program, intervention is based on a group process problem-solving model. Students' difficulties in relating to others are not diagnosed and treated in isolation from their daily actions. Instead, problems are dealt with on the spot as they occur. Group meetings are held at any time during the day when a problem arises. In addition, there are regular evening group sessions. During group meetings, students receive the help and support of their group to learn more acceptable behavior, to express emotions appropriately, and to resolve problems productively. Motivation on the part of the student is high because he is meeting primary needs and is experiencing both the positive and negative results of his behavior immediately or soon after his actions.
