At Live for Life Aspen, we strive to provide superior transition services in a residential setting that helps teens and young adults ages 16-21 successfully reintegrate into the community following placement from a higher level of care. 

We achieve this by providing temporary housing, re-entry support services, and skill development by providing evidence-based programming.

Our approach is to engage youth in transition conversations about their futures, their dreams, and their plans and then assist youth in identifying and attaining goals in the following domains: Curriculum covers essential skills such as Communicating Effectively, Decision Making, Goal Setting, Problem-Solving, Skills for School and Beyond, Game Plan for Work, Getting the Job, On the Job, Preparing for College and Careers, and more.

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. 

Community-Secure: Transition coaches provide individual and group psychosocial rehabilitative services (PRS) to youth in secure care to help them prepare to transition out of secure care into the community successfully.
