Transitional Age Youth Support Program - TAY at Community Youth Services

Transitional Age Youth Support Program - TAY

Provides a program for youth age 15-24 who may need more support in their transition to independence. This program focuses on young people who want support with challenges they face such as: - anxiety, - mood, - self-harm, - feeling suicidal, - trauma, - conflict in relationships, - behaviors, - running away, and - substance use. Offers therapy and peer counseling when and where a youth needs it. Therapists work with youth to create a plan that will help them to stabilize and achieve their goals. Treatment is outcome-based, individualized and adaptable to meet their specific needs while also being informed by the research on the most effective interventions. Offers additional supports for youth that have a need for more intensive services. Wraparound with Intensive Services provides systems-based care coordination through a team process that is driven by the youth. Wraparound is especially helpful for youth involved in multiple systems, require assistance meeting their basic needs or have multiple providers.
