- Life Skills & Mentoring. Enables residents to succeed in the environments in which they live. Through individualized and group settings, residents are exposed to various tools which assist them with daily living skills. Our topics range from behavioral (communicating effectively with others) or cognitive (making effective decisions); interpersonal (being assertive) or intrapersonal (setting goals).
- Health & Wellness. Promotes health and wellness as essentials for an individual’s well-being, development and self-sufficiency. Services are designed to support residents with medication compliance, recovery, nutrition, mental health, vision and dental needs. Residents are counseled both on an individual case-by-case basis as well as in group settings.
- Education & Employment. Enhances the skills and capabilities of participants to reduce unemployment and under-employment in the community. Services include career counseling and job placement assistance, a job club, resume & cover letter development, effective career search strategy development, career assessment, social media security, referrals for training, and a transitional jobs program.
