Community
We offer a therapeutic environment for youth and young adults to have a safe space to interact with peers and care managers. We offer a variety of services and support for youth and young adults.
Connection
Building connection is vital to our community especially our youth and young adults. With the support of our care managers youth are supported in their journey of expanding their social and emotional learning and growing their communication skills.
Healing
Many of our youth have at some point in their life, have something they need help navigating and healing from. Our space is structured to be a non-invasive therapeutic environment where natural conversations of mentorship and healing take place. Our youth can also request 1:1 meetings with care managers for added support.
