  We accomplish this by holding regular community meetings and going on weekly adventures meant to promote passion and self-discovery. The program structure is built on a social model that focuses on changing attitudes, values, beliefs, and behavior through peer engagement. Recovery is seen as a gradual, ongoing process of social, behavioral, and cognitive change.<\/p>\n

  One of the outcomes measured at Ethos is depression symptoms, assessed with a tool called the PHQ-9 (Personal Health Questionnaire \u2013 9 Item Survey). Scores of 10 \u2013 14 indicate moderate depressive symptoms; 5-9 mild, and less than 4, minimal. The figure below shows PHQ-9 scores from when members started at Ethos, during the program, and after discharge. Members at Ethos enter the program in the high end of the mild, or the low end of the moderate range of symptoms.<\/p>\n
