TAY is a program for emerging adults ages 15-24. Here, we elevate youth to be active agents in their own mental health and prepare for the transition to independence. TAY offers counseling when and where a youth needs it. We 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. TAY offers a treatment team approach for those in need of more intensive services. Youth with multiple systems involvement benefit from care coordination that helps navigate needs and work towards youth-inspired outcomes. Peer counseling supports youth and families with new skills learned in therapy to overcome barriers and maintain recovery.
