| History and Philosophy: | "There is no such thing as a bad boy". "Children need and are entitled to their families". Pine Haven feels that as a boy has acquired destructive and unhealthy patterns of behavior, given the opportunity, he can learn more productive and adequate skills. Pine Haven also sees children as components of the family systems and believes those families can change and successfully reunite. Pine Haven strives to serve children in their relationship with their families. |
