Our 40 years of clinical experience has prepared us to do this work which includes providing case management, Community Living Suppports (CLS), clinical assessment, treatment planning and more. Passages Behavioral Health also manages re-entry housing for this population know as the Passages House. We provide a service that not only bridges folks to another chance but helps maintain their progress in the community.

Judgement and Experiential Learning

There are many ways of learning. We have found experiential learning to be very valuable in self-growth and counseling. It involves the individual needs and motivations for learning. We learn from our experiences and we intragrate these feelings, thoughts and behaviors into our next experience. Experiential learning does require that an individual take the time to self-evaluate their experiences and sometimes doing this with a teacher or counselor can help with intergrating the experience and learning.

Carl Rogers, one of the founders of the humanistic psychology movement coined the term Experiential Learning.
