Young Adults in Transition Residential Treatment Homes

24-Hour Supervision and Support for Ages 17 to 25

Young Adults in Transition (YAT) Residential Treatment Homes are for young adults (17 to 25 years old) who experience complex behavioral health challenges. They provide 24-hour supervision and support, focusing on helping residents develop the skills needed to manage their mental health symptoms and transition into adulthood. Skill development focuses on:

  • Self-managing emotions and mental health symptoms 
  • Nutrition, personal hygiene, clothing care and grooming 
  • Managing physical or health problems as needed 
  • Money and household management  
  • Communication skills for social, health care, community resources 
  • Recreational and social activities  

YAT RTHs also provide:

  • Therapy and medication management
  • Connection to other services as needed (e.g., supported employment)
