What are the benefits of co-ed and single gender groups?
Some young people need to be in a single-gender group to focus on the issues that have brought them to Three Rivers Montana. Others gain a great deal from being a part of a co-ed group. The realistic situation of being in a group with both genders prepares students for the “real world” environment they will go to after leaving Three Rivers. Boys and girls learn to see each other as people rather than simply objects. In co-ed groups, students are able to benefit from the different approaches boys and girls may take to consider emotional issues and to solve problems.
