A safe, secure and nurturing home environment
Studies show that 75% of mental health ailments begin before the age of 25; the earlier the onset is properly diagnosed and treated, the higher the chance for successful long-term management. Our voluntaryYoung Adult Programs work with individuals 18-25 years of age to help young men and women transition from Department of Child & Family (DCF) to an independent living environment. In collaboration with the Southeastern Mental Health Authority (SMHA), these programs offer:
- 24/7 care
- Built in clinical and residential support
- Individualized goal plans and life skill building (i.e. hygiene, budgeting, transportation, cooking, leisure activities, grocery shopping, money management, health and wellness, safety, coping skills)
- Collaboration with families
- Transportation to health and wellness appointments
- Incentive programs
- Recreational activities
- Peer mentoring
- Volunteer opportunities in the community
