Facilitating Independence and Providing Help For Young Adults
The goal of New Directions is to prepare young adults to live independent lives. Our program is comprehensive and client-centered, providing an individualized plan for each client. Support is coordinated using a new multi-disciplinary clinical approach called Direction Therapy. Direction Therapy incorporates educational, vocational, independent living, health, social and recreational goals into one unique comprehensive service plan. New Directions typically supports students with executive functioning deficits and a variety of clinical needs. Participants in the New Directions program are typically working to learn the skills needed to live independently. New Directions is unique among therapeutic programs for young adults, we provide a wide range of services aimed to provide help for young adults in achieving self-sufficiency. Services are regularly tapered to allow clients to exercise the independent living skills they learn.
New Directions specializes in providing a custom and effective experience in a transitional living environment. Young adults live independently but get varied levels of support/supervision (based on recommendations and need). New Directions provides a wide range of services. New Directions clients learn to apply the tools they learn from our expert clinical staff to everyday life situations.
