Episode 62 of the Becoming Centered podcast is the second episode in an arc focused on House Meetings. In my experience, House Meetings are the single most effective group structure in the residential week for promoting team-building and for developing the kids into a high-performance team. When that happens the entire residential experience shifts from having to spend an excessive amount of time on behavior management to a treatment environment that promotes mental health.
Developing that kind of positive peer and staff culture takes time. It also takes solid strategy and understanding of team development. This episode blends together the basics for resilience (a sense of belonging, purpose, agency, and meaning) with a well-known model for understanding the phases of team development - forming, storming, norming, and performing.
This episode also presents a way to understand four major ways in which our brain's regulate our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. With time-tested structures like check-in's, House Meetings become a time for practicing executive skills, learning emotional sensitivity, acquiring prosocial beliefs, and healthy values.
At the same time, House Meetings can become an effective way to teach listening respectfully, stating opinions appropriately, giving and receiving feedback maturely, and learning how to negotiate and compromise with others.
