What is CBC?

Customised Behavioral Concepts (CBC), a non-profit organization is the brainchild of Curtis Brooks its CEO. As a Success Coach and motivational speaker, he is no stranger to adversity. He spent more than 8 years, servicing youth ranging in age from 13 to 18, kids considered "at risk" because no one ever took the time to try to understand what was going on with them or how to help them find their way. Using his experience as a motivational speaker coupled with lessons learned, CBC was founded. The core foundation embraces change as a constant opportunity to learn and grow. What does that mean you ask . . .? "We take great care in understanding the needs of our youth and we vow that helping them succeed will become our life's work and the driving force behind CBC. We are educators that provide life skill instructions. Our foundational curriculum, Applied Character Education (ACE™) aids youth and family in identifying and transforming "at risk" behaviors." "Problem Based Learning, our "ACE™" in the whole" Character Education demonstrates core ethical values which form the basis of good character. Problem Based Learning is, "supported by a concept that is older than formal education. The learning process is initiated by a posed problem, query or puzzle that the learner wants to solve". (Boud & Feletti, 1991). Promoting healthy relationships and encouraging creative life scenarios is the curriculum of ACE™ and it better prepares our youth to become producers. The development of good communication skills, reasoning tactics and critical thinking will form a foundation for our youth that will become the road map that will help them navigate through the journey that is the rest of their lives. There are four areas we stress in our program: Accepting Responsibility - learning that there are consequences for their actions; Conflict Resolution - through effective communication our clients learn to recognize how listening, thinking and positive self expression can resolve conflict help them gain insight into any situation; Stay Focus - on what really matters - not doing so can lead to inward anger and depression. Students learn the difference between what is important; and what a distraction is. Goal Setting - the thought processes, subconscious and comfort zones play a part in the accomplishment of their goals. Armed with these qualities our clients will be ready to take on whatever may come their way. They learn how to reason through any situation they are faced with. Caring, competent and highly trained professionals armed with the concept of ACE™ have joined forces and through the use of this concept, a clearly defined mission statement, motivation, understanding and commitment our clients move closer to their individual independence.   For information on how we can assist the youth of your organization or on how you can help CBC - Customised Behavioral Concepts fulfill its mission please feel free to contact us through our website or directly by calling.
