The Twin Pillars Approach
At The Dawn, we strive to achieve the proper balance between relaxation, work, rehabilitation and wellness. With a mixture of Eastern and Western treatment options, our team of experts have created the Twin Pillar Approach. By following these principles, our clients have the best possible chance to maintain long-term mental health recovery, sobriety and generally healthy living.
The Dawn is proud to offer multi-faceted treatment methods for mental wellness, rehabilitation and patient care. To ensure success, we address the driving underlying negative behaviours, while simultaneously reinforcing the development of positive behaviour. Our team of dedicated treatment professionals help clients learn the skills necessary to get healthy and provide the tools to foster success going forward.
Our first pillar focuses on rehabilitation, equipping our clients with the tools needed to stop their negative behaviour and regain self-sufficiency. We focus on finding equilibrium, an essential step toward growth and development. The key element of our rehabilitation programme is the combination of cognitive based therapies through the use of mindfulness. The mindfulness aspects are further enhanced in counselling sessions through breathing exercises, mindfulness assignments and reflective writing.
