Transition to Adulthood

Transition to Adulthood assists youth ages 12 to 18 years in developing skills necessary for independent living. Youth may be living at home, in foster or group care, or independently on a Youth Agreement. Support services vary, with each individual’s living situation and needs. Youth are encouraged to identify goals that focus on learning the skills associated with independent living, self-sufficiency, and adult responsibilities. Goals are incorporated into a Service Delivery Plan. Our adult transition services provide assistance in the following areas:

  • Budgeting
  • Money management
  • Access to recreation
  • Pre-employment skills
  • Communication and Social skills
  • Access to health services
  • Access to addiction services
  • Advocacy
  • Meal planning
  • Shopping/cooking
  • Securing identification
  • Employment search
  • Self-care
  • Access to educational programs
  • Teen parenting
