The Transitional Living Program is a campus-based program for clients ages 16-1/2 and older who are preparing for independent living on or about their 18th birthday. Clients in this program have varying degrees of behavioral and/or emotional problems which have interfered with growth, development and overall functioning in key areas of life such as peer relations, school and family. Staff is on duty 24 hours a day/7 days a week. The Transitional Living Program is a logical next step for adolescents who need further supportive services and independent skills and training, yet have outgrown group home or residential treatment programs or who may not adjust well in a substitute family setting.
