Better Outlook Family Resource Center
Partial Care

A Better Outlook--Pschyo-Social

Partial Care, at Better Outlook, is a Medicaid funded program designed to strengthen children and families through positive learning experiences.  Each child is valued and accepted for his/her uniqueness.

 

Participants in the Partial Care program learn that they have control over their behavioral choices.  Emphasis is on teaching each client how to become a contributing member of their partial care group, family, classroom, and community by wisely using their own special talents and gifts for the mutual benefit of others. 

 

Better Outlook’s primary concern is the needs of our clients and their families.  We believe that the treatment process is not accomplished in isolation. It is initiated, promoted and performed in concert with clients, caregivers, Better Outlook staff and others within the community.

Art Therapy

 

Our Partial Care also incorporates art therapy in the program.  Art therapy is a significant part of our program at Better Outlook Family Resource Center.  The language of visual art, colors, shapes, lines, and images, speaks to us in ways words cannot.  We then are able to translate the nonverbal language of art.  This allows for personal growth, insight, and transformation.  The process leads to a connection to what is inside us – our thoughts, feelings, and perceptions – to relate to outer realities and life experiences.  This is based on the belief that images can help us understand who we are and enhance our lives through self-expression.

 

Our art therapy program is person-centered and focuses on the individual.  There is not an “interpretation” of the work but carefully posed questions so we can understand what is being communicated through art.  There is an added benefit which allows the therapist to “see” what the person thinks and feels in addition to having a verbal account. 

 

The “art experience” at Better Outlook is not only therapeutic in design but also great fun!
