Transitions works in a strengths-based, culturally relevant, and co-occurring friendly manner with participants. The program utilizes many principles of the Transition to Independence Process model that engages youth in their own recovery process towards healthier expressions of their lives. Service delivery is a collaborative process, helping participants to co-create their short- and long-term goals. We provide community-based services, meeting participants in environments where they feel most comfortable. Services are designed to meet TAY where they are, using modalities and interventions that TAY can relate to, including engaging youth in a nonjudgmental, conversational style of communication, and discussing topics that are relevant to TAY. Services place much emphasis on building a strong therapeutic alliance with our participants in order to foster the most effective outcomes.
