A safe, secure and nurturing home environment.

A safe, secure and nurturing home environment 

Studies show that 75% of mental health ailments begin before the age of 25; the earlier the onset is properly diagnosed and treated, the higher the chance for successful long-term management. Our voluntaryYoung Adult Programs work with individuals 18-25 years of age to help young men and women transition from Department of Child & Family (DCF) to an independent living environment. In collaboration with the Southeastern Mental Health Authority (SMHA), these programs offer:

  • 24/7 care
  • Built in clinical and residential support
  • Individualized goal plans and life skill building (i.e. hygiene, budgeting, transportation, cooking, leisure activities, grocery shopping, money management, health and wellness, safety, coping skills)
  • Collaboration with families
  • Transportation to health and wellness appointments
  • Incentive programs
  • Recreational activities
  • Peer mentoring
  • Volunteer opportunities in the community

Those interested in services should contact the Southeastern Mental Health Authority at 860-859-4500.
