Healthy Transitions works with emerging adults with serious mental health conditions between the ages of 16 and 25 as they move into the adult life of their choosing. The program provides youth-driven, strengths-based, non-stigmatizing, and developmentally appropriate services that help young adults manage mental health symptoms that limit their ability to transition into adult roles. We also aim to raise community awareness about their needs, signs, and symptoms of their mental illness and how the public can support them. Our team of Transition Facilitators fosters independence in emerging adults by improving quality of life in major life domains: decreasing symptoms of mental illness, increasing employment and educational success, fostering family and peer relationships, providing and developing age appropriate housing options, and teaching essential independent living skills.

HT services are informed by several evidence-based practices (EBP’s) to assist youth in a successful transition to adulthood. The EBP’s provide support in applying to and staying in school, finding and keeping a job, working with family members to manage and decrease mental health symptoms, and coordinate services for youth when other systems have not met their needs. The Healthy Transitions Program includes the Transition Age Youth (TAY) Residential Rehabilitation Program (RRP) which provides more intensive, 24/7, supports for the young adults as they become independent. Healthy Transitions Participants outside of the TAY program receive services in the community as they transition into their healthy adult lives.
