The ASR Life Phases Model

1. Pathways
2. Contemplation
3. Preparation
4. Action
5. Maintenance

Phases reflect the tasks completed and are a reflection of the general stage of change a student is in. Each Phase has responsibilities, increasing privileges and more extensive home visits. The Team, with the student, makes the determination of which Phase a student is in, when they move to the next phase, and if a phase should be returned to.

Life Phase Seminars

Life Phase Seminars take place throughout the period a student is at the Academy. They are scheduled as needed, upon the formation of a group of students ready for that particular Life Phase Seminar. There is a Life Phase Seminar appropriate to each of the Phases. There is a Life Phase Seminar for students in the Contemplation Phase, Preparation Phase, Action Phase and Maintenance Phase, and Ending Phase. Life Phase Seminar I provides tools for students to evaluate their lives, their problems and concerns, to come to terms with the evaluation of problems by their family and by ASR. The psychodramatic tool of the social atom is taught in the Contemplation Phase.
