Center for Holistic Intervention

C.H.I. 

C.H.I.’s ultimate mission and purpose at large is to break the cycle of powerlessness and promote empowerment, self determination, and healthy development of human growth in the community and society as a whole.  By being sensitive to cultural diversity and examining the interpersonal psyche, we will be able to consider the broader picture of the individual and family to understand and implement an effective intervention.  Our attempt is to design unique interventions that are intensive enough to reach delinquent/aggressive behaviors among children, while still being compassionate, sensitive and effective.  In addition, we hope to create an awareness of the benefits that yoga and kinesthetic play have on the mind, body, and self.  Because yoga is taught as a fun exercise to the child, that in it of itself relaxes the body and decreases tension, in turn, benefits are delivered immediately and infectious.  Yoga and kinesthetic play will serve as a transitional bridge for opening communication between children and their families, with the emphasis on long-term healthy behaviors.  Our approach aims to simultaneously help the child and family, while promoting lasting healthy behaviors and manageable techniques to increase functional, interpersonal, and socialization skills.

C.H.I. is dedicated to bringing families together by promoting and fostering positive family values through healthy behaviors, utilizing yoga and kinesthetic play as a pathway.  Our mission is to bring to Hudson County and its surrounding communities an awareness of the benefits yoga & kinesthetic play have on the mind, body, and self.  In addition, these techniques will serve to encourage open communication between children and families, while promoting long-term healthy behaviors.  Our approach is to support human growth and functioning that entails the use of the ecological perspective, merges a culture of approaches and theories to create an individualized treatment strategy for the child and family.
