Residential Treatment Center
Pillar 3: Individualized treatment
At Telos, we aim to inspire and invite change rather than force it. While certain behavioral principles, such as the tendency to seek pleasure and avoid pain, may hold some truth, rewards, and punishments cannot be the sole foundation of the change process. We are guiding individuals on a journey toward healing, greater functionality, and developing insight and wisdom in their choices. Keeping this in mind helps us resist the urge to jump straight to consequences without thoughtfully considering the student, the behavior, the underlying lesson, the student’s emotional state, and the most effective way they will learn.
We teach principles before rules, avoiding the quick and easy model of change often promoted by behaviorists. At Telos, we aren't afraid to bend, deconstruct, or rewrite various program components to ensure a single student's therapeutic good. While behavioral methods may sometimes be helpful for specific students, they are not our primary approach. People can be motivated by much more than the pursuit of pleasure or the avoidance of pain—they can also be driven by duty, love, a deep desire to grow, and a commitment to making wiser, more intentional choices.

Breathing exercises can help improve your mental health by promoting relaxation, reducing stress levels, improving focus, increasing mindfulness, boosting mood, lowering blood pressure, and improving sleep quality, among many other benefits.
The group recently studied breathing techniques and their effectiveness in improving mental health, and the results are powerful. By taking a moment to pause, breathe deeply, and be mindful of each inhale and exhale, we can significantly reduce stress and anxiety.
Take a few minutes each day for deep breathing exercises like diaphragmatic, box, or 4-7-8 breathing. These simple techniques can have a profound impact on your overall well-being.
