Successful Horizons
Successful Horizons is an organization with the goal to give individuals, schools and communities the opportunity to have the most productive, energized, and healthy future possible. This is accomplished by identification, remediation, planning, and a knowledge base which consists of the skills necessary to achieve healthy success today. A historical, longitudinal and research base is the foundation of these strengths.
Unhealthy behaviors are reversed by
- Determining who needs remediation
- Identifying what skills are needed
- Implementing programs to help students, school or communities in need
- Post testing to measure the extent of improvements
- Longitudinal tracking of progress 1 year, 2 years and 5 years later.
Quote
Today’s institutions focus on academic skills but not the interpersonal and intrapersonal skills needed to succeed today. These same institutions do not focus on identifying those individuals who lack the skills to adapt and thrive in today’s world or to remediate this situation. Research has advanced to the point that we know what characteristics lead to successful workers, successful parents, healthy adults, healthy life styles and what contributes to unhealthy lifestyles and workers but this knowledge is often not taught or shared outside of higher learning or research. Our children are tomorrow’s future and if we give them the knowledge and skills they need today then they will have more successful horizons.
