WELL-BEING

Well-being maintains the mind, body, and spirit.

Mental Well-being

Depending on the region where they are located, we offer Clients in-house mental health support or refer them to partner agencies that specialize in the challenges of systems-involved young adults.

In addition, we offer clients opportunities to improve their mental health through positive and healthy experiences that encourage them to get outside, try new things, socialize with peers, and form trusting relationships with adult allies who want them to succeed too.
