(Ages 18-21)
Our goal is to help every kid we serve live an independent, pro-social life—one that’s safe and healthy for themselves and others.
Our Independent Living program is a final step toward independence for older adolescents or young adults who have successfully completed our Transitional Living program (or some type of formal program) while demonstrating healthy, responsible, and safe decision-making and self-monitoring skills.
The youth in this program live on their own—often in an apartment or college dorm—without daily staff supervision and without adult rules and structure. Our staff offers ongoing support and guidance, performs regular check-ins, and helps the youth find a place to live, find work (and keep it), and/or adapt to college life.
We also help them connect with other programs offered in the community to meet their ongoing therapy, counseling, and medical health needs.
