(Females, Ages 18-21)
Moving out of intensive Residential Treatment is an important time of transition. Our youth need time to practice what they’ve learned—in a less structured, but still highly supportive, environment. Our Transitional Living program helps prepare kids to successfully live on their own.
Youth in this program live either on campus or in a nearby home and are supervised by Nexus staff 24 hours a day. However, each youth is responsible for making their own independent decisions and guiding their own daily life. Our staff is there to provide coaching and mentoring as needed.
We work with the youth in this program to help build job skills, find work, complete educational milestones, manage finances, make daily scheduling decisions, find housing, and enjoy appropriate social and community-based activities. We also help them connect with other programs offered in the community to meet their ongoing therapy, counseling, and medical health needs .
After successfully completing the Transitional Living program, our youth are ready to live independently without adult supervision—by themselves or with roommates, often in an apartment or a college dorm.
