THE GENESIS PROCESS
The Genesis Process is a recovery model and core curriculum used by the New Beginnings Program. It is a Bible based relapse prevention curriculum. Students identify faulty beliefs and replace them with the truth from the Word of God. Genesis counselors assist guests in creating individualized plans for relapse prevention.
The Genesis Process allows the student to turn mistakes into growth, reduce self-sabotaging behaviors and address the root cause of those behaviors.
