There are many positives to Gatehouse. One of them is having a big support group around you at all times. There are many good things about this; having a big support group around you at all times means whenever you are struggling, there is always someone around for you to talk to and relate with. You also have people that can hold you accountable and people who can tell when you are struggling and can reach out and help you. School is another positive. Taking school at Gatehouse means I can slowly get back into my education, one class at a time. The entire accommodations and living aspect is another positive. We learn how to live a responsible and sober life and how to manage food and keep the house clean. The life skills block is another great part of Gatehouse Academy. In life skills we get to learn how to handle all aspects of life that will be helpful to us after we commence. I have a lot of fun at group sports. It’s a great opportunity to exercise. It also brings us closer as a community and allows us to build trust with one another. The houses are really nice here. We get to live in several houses and bond as a family. Work ethic is an important part of the program; we have several different jobs done in the morning to teach us how to handle having a job and going even if we don’t want to. I’m on car crew right now. There are many positive aspects of Gatehouse, and I am grateful for all of them.
