At HOMES (Healthy Opportunities for Meaningful Experience Society), we currently support nearly seventy individuals in the rolling hills of the Fraser Valley about an hour east of Vancouver, BC.
We support individuals in traditional shared homes of four persons, individual homes with one or two persons and we have many Supported Family Care homes. We train our caregivers in a philosophy of Gentle Teaching and our mentoring from John McGee has led to the formation of Gentle Teaching International, which is better known as GTI. GTI works worldwide to support Gentle Teaching through the www.gentleteaching.com web page. We put aside the traditional models of control, compliance and building independence - for a philosophy of gentleness, companionship, caring, and building inter-dependence and community. Gentle Teaching Training DVDs available at GTI site Our story has recently been documented in a 55 minute DVD entitled "I've been down that road" It's available for viewing and purchase online. This DVD is the story of 10 of the young men and women referred to HOMES when there appeared to be no other options. They came from jails, the Forensic Institution, Willow Clinic, many failed placements and the streets. The DVD documents their climb back out despair and endless failure to a home and worth in the community.
