Emerging Adults

The Emerging Adult Services program is a strengths-based program to support young adults, ages 18-25, who have a Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED), mental illness or a co-occurring disorder, as they transition to adulthood. Available services include quality, affordable and safe supportive housing with individualized support services for young adults who have been either in foster care or in treatment for mental illness or a co-occurring substance use disorder and have very low income. As young adults demonstrate their ability to live more independently, the program assists in their transition to more independent community living. Available services also include daily adult living development opportunities for the targeted population, such as education on mental health, substance use disorders, and life skills. Group topics include coping skills, medication education, financial management, nutrition, personal grooming and hygiene, relationship building, and more. Service recipients also actively work toward employment and education goals.
