The program promotes social responsibility and becoming a healthy member of a community. Guided by clearly established rules, youth learn to respect each other, their community, and authority figures.

When challenging issues surface, the Timpview staff members turn them into teaching moments. By utilizing various behavioral techniques, staff members guide the youth in learning to risk in relationships, in finding constructive means of meeting needs for respect and love, and in discovering socially acceptable ways to relate to the environment and to authority figures.
