After finishing wilderness therapy or residential treatment, many young adults are ready to move forward. They want to continue making progress in a real-life setting with support from qualified professionals who understand how they can aid lasting growth and change.
Independent living programs for young adults provide essential transitional assistance within a supportive environment that combines therapeutic treatment with independence and real-world experiences. Finding the ideal program will make all the difference!
LifeSet
LifeSet is an evidence-based intervention that has assisted more than 20,000 young adults between 17-22. A randomized controlled trial study demonstrated its success at decreasing housing instability, economic hardship, homelessness, couch-surfing, mental health problems and domestic violence among this age group.
Independent living programs for young adults provide training, educational support and housing assistance while offering personal and emotional support that allows adolescents to build strong foundations of independence. Services are delivered by dedicated staff who visit young people wherever they feel most at ease: at home, school or a community setting.
The program includes an apartment-style transitional housing option for youth ages 18 or older who have aged out of foster care and who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, which is staffed 24/7 to ensure residents receive consistent support in areas like cooking, banking, employment and other skills necessary for successful independent living.
Vicinitas
Young adults who have completed wilderness therapy or residential treatment often find independent living programs an excellent next step. These programs build upon the skills gained during treatment while supporting an easy transition into successful young adulthood.
These programs typically cater to young adult groups of one gender, although co-ed independent living programs are also offered.
Youth involved with this program learn the fundamentals of managing money and household responsibilities as well as exploring possible vocations or employment options.
Young adults are given an interest inventory to identify career interests, then participate in job shadowing based on these specific pursuits.
Staff from this program work to develop each young adult's career skills, including resume writing and interview techniques. They assist the young adults in addressing any barriers to employment such as lack of a high school diploma or mental health challenges; additionally they offer one-on-one counseling with an Education Employment Specialist.
Gateway
Gateway devices combine the functions of both modems and routers, enabling people to connect wirelessly to the Internet. They're often used as an efficient way to share networks.
The Gateway program equips young adults with life skills necessary for transition into adulthood. It also emphasizes developing positive self-respect and creating healthy relationships.
Students attend a residential program of their choosing in a community they select, where all necessary supplies for living in their apartment are provided to them. Furthermore, they learn how to keep it clean and safe.
Students living in communities receive assistance with transportation and budgeting issues, as well as making connections with positive adult mentors. Case managers offer guidance in finding employment or education referrals, while helping develop self-sufficiency skills.
