Residencial Support Homes
Pinnacle support placements offer a safe, secure, and structured place of living to foster catered therapeutic growth and promote lifelong success. We operate on a one-one staffing model, which enables every aspect of care to be completely malleable and molded to complement our client's unique support needs. Residences are limited to two clients per home to combat the harmful effects of dehumanization, overcrowding, institutionalization, and amplified negative peer interactions seen in traditional care facilities. We believe that supports should be designed and implemented with the goal of developing success without them. For this reason, we avoid models that promote "compliance through consequence" in favour of methods that prioritize uncovering foundational emotional-behavioural causes and achieving change through mutual understanding. Our programs are designed to optimize result transference by mimicking traditional living environments to the highest degree permissible. We do not place locks on food, restrict kitchen access, require forced room time, knocking before leaving rooms, etc. Our models strive to produce change at a depth far beyond that possible by institutionalized control or fear-led aversion approaches. We are targeting the client's fundamental perspective and underlying motivating factors to ensure continued success in the absence of structures.
Our goal is to utilize evidence-based, results-oriented, and humanistic approaches to generate lasting positive changes in the clients and families we serve. We aim to foster therapeutic and fundamental positive growth while providing the tools required for self-sustaining lifelong success.
Fostering Change
One-One Support: Every residence is structured with an equal staff-to-client ratio permitting the highest degree of individualized intervention structures and catered support. Our paired staff model facilities client-driven growth, personalized crisis management, and around-the-clocked support resulting in exponentially enhanced success outcomes.
Limited Capacity: Residences are limited to two clients per home in order to allow for catered care approaches, individualized environments, and mediation of adverse behavioural development/amplification through negative peer influences.
De-Institutionalized Environment: We believe in creating a welcoming, supportive therapeutic environment that reflects real-world" settings as closely as possible. Our methods focus on identifying and targeting foundational causes of negative behaviours rather than modifying the environment to accommodate behaviours; we strive to change maladaptive behaviours to adaptive behaviours with the ultimate goal of the individual thriving in any environment. With that goal in mind, our residences are designed to mimic and function as closely as possible to traditional homes. We utilize techniques that concentrate on achieving change through insight rather than the conventional consequence-driven compliance approaches. These fundamental behavioural insights create genuine, positive, and lifelong changes within the youth and families we serve.
Result Focused: Our goal is to create significant, measurable, and lasting change in our clients' lives. We strive to distinguish ourselves from the "housing station" models that numerous agencies in this field have fallen victim to becoming. Here at Pinnacle, we are dedicated to empowering and improving the lives of the youth we serve. Every aspect of our residential support facilities is carefully planned and designed in the pursuit of generating success outside of the treatment environment. Our malleable and dynamic support approach allows for constant progress response measurements and result-driven modifications to ensure consistent individualized client improvements.
Catered Client Care: Here at Pinnacle, every client receives catered and individualized support structuring, factoring in their unique social, medical, behavioural, and response patterns histories. We focus on therapeutic rapport building and highlight individual strengths/motivational factors to formulate support plans in which clients are personally invested in their participation and success.
Lasting Foundational Behavioural Change
The theme and purpose of all interactions with clients are to foster fundamental positive changes that follow them throughout life. Here at Pinnacle, we believe our success is measured solely by the success of those we serve. It's our mission to change the youth care field and we focus on the long-term success of those in our care. We strive for every one of our clients to grow past the need for support and to become positive, happy, and independent members of society.
