We don't see crisis as a negative thing. We see it as an opportunity to make a change, to enhance, to positively Impact people's lives.

Who is this for?
Our Transition Age Youth (TAY) program is for young people ages 17-25 with severe mental health needs who are transitioning into adulthood. Youth are typically referred to the program for symptoms of severe mental illness that have negatively affected their life. Youth served by the program are at risk for removal from their school or home, hospitalization, or have irreconcilable differences with their existing support system.
