The Littleton Group Home prepares young men for independent living by helping them to live respectful, dignified and increasingly responsible lives. The home is founded upon fundamentally optimistic assumptions about human nature and the human spirit. The program believes that these young men would choose to live their lives governed by pro-social values if: they are given the support in developing and clarifying those values, they have the pro-social skills to support those values, and if they are helped to find their own motivation for change.
