About Fort Davis

 

a member of the
Social Learning Environment family
founded in 1976.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a positive environment for social learning, teaching care and concern for oneself and others through adherence to the Positive Peer Culture Treatment Model.

Positive Peer Culture is the catalyst for systematically promoting social interest as the agent of change for young people experiencing academic, family, emotional, and or behavioral problems.

"The central position of this model is that young people can develop self worth, significance, dignity and responsibility only as they become committed to the positive values of helping and caring for others." (Harry Vorrath, author of Positive Peer Culture)

 

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life, that no man
can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
