“Implementing and training the Green Zone Therapeutic Model in our program for both staff and the individuals that we support has dramatically improved relationships (from professional and working to relationships that the individuals that we support have with the world around them), engagement in daily activities, awareness of personal emotion regulation needs and strategies, as well as overall mindset.”
“By implementing the Green Zone Skills our program has been better able to support more intensive individuals with higher needs from a strength-based perspective built on modeling and coaching emotion regulation skills. In utilizing these skills both our staff and individuals feel more confident and supported in their perspective roles in our program.”

“The Green Zone is one of the best support frameworks I have come across in being able to adapt complex core concepts of key person-centered therapeutic modalities such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness into a curriculum that is simpler to understand and is highly relatable for individuals with Developmental Disabilities and the staff that support them. The Green Zone model establishes a wonderful foundation and core skill set to be able to develop individualized strategies to build up the abilities and understanding of the people we support and our dedicated staff providing direct care. Here at Hope Human Services, the Green Zone has been an invaluable resource for our agency to provide exceptional life experiences for the people we support, particularly those who face complex challenges in their lives. What we love most about the Green Zone is the infinite possibilities it empowers people with to ‘Grow the Green!’ ”
