    Underlying Therapeutic Community Principles

    TC Philosophy
    I am here because there is no refuge, finally, from myself.
    Until I confront myself in the eyes and hearts of others.
    I am running Until I suffer them to share my secrets.
    I have no safety from them.
    Afraid to be known.
    I can know neither myself nor any other;
    I will be alone.
    Where else but in our common ground, can I find such a mirror?
    Here, together, I can at last appear clearly to myself
    not as the giant of my dreams, nor the dwarf of my fears,
    but as a person, part of the whole, with my share in its purpose.
    In this ground, I can take root and grow,
    not alone anymore, as in death,
    but alive- to myself and to others.
    Richard Beauvais

     Honesty
     Trust in your environment
     Humility
     Pride in quality

     Personal growth before vested status
     Compensation is valid
     Be careful what you ask for, you might just get it
     Forgiveness
     Nurture nature for our future

    Salient Features of the Therapeutic Community Ladderized Program

    The TCLP integrates TC tools, norms and methods with probation and parole
    requirements, implemented in progressive phases within the non-residential
    community-based setting of the DOJ-PPA rehabilitation program for clients.
    It provides clients with success milestones through graduated completion
    criteria, and aims for more active involvement of clients and their families.
    The TCLP has redefined program components. Several elements have been
    aligned, including organizational core values with TC norms, TC hierarchical
    structure with field office organizational structure, and clients’ assessments and
    planning processes with probation and parole conditions and procedures.
    Altogether, the TCLP seeks to give clients sustainable foundations for life
    after probation or parole, empower implementers, and raise the application of the TC
    modality to higher professional standards.
