Live for Life Community Transition Services

The Live for Life Transition Team strives to improve outcomes for adolescents as they transition to the community or home. We do this by ensuring that they are prepared, connected, and have a sense of optimism about the future and by working closely with family members and caring adults.

Community-Mentoring: Transition coaches provide strength-based support in daily living and social situations, access community resources, and address communication needs to maximize youths’ successful living in the community.

Community-Aftercare: Transition coaches provide support to youth when they are discharged from a qualified residential treatment program and transition to a biological family home, foster home, or independent living environment. These services are provided for six months and are designed to maximize a successful transition and prevent a return to a residential placement or re-entry into the care of the Department of Health and Human Services.
