Finding The Right Independent Living Program For Young Adults From Michigan

Have you been considering different forms of therapeutic help for your young adult child? Are you looking for a therapeutic solution for a son or daughter who is currently living in Michigan?

Have you considered an independent living program in Michigan? There is a phenomenal independent living program for young adults in St George, UT, known as At The Crossroads (ATC).

ATC is highly recommended by Educational Consultants and therapists from Michigan. We encourage you to find out more.

At The Crossroads has helped hundreds and families of struggling young adults find solutions to the growing problem associated with young adults who are stuck, and unable or unwilling to transition into adulthood.

According to the National Alliance of Mental Illness, there are 3 million young adults in America diagnosed with serious mental health issues and most of which are struggling to find a pathway into the adult world.

NAMI published an article titled, "On The Move: Helping Young Adults with Serious Mental Health needs Transition into Adulthood," stating, in part, "Youth and young adults who have been diagnosed with a Serious Emotional Disturbance or Serious Mental Illness (SED/SMI) such as major depressive or anxiety disorders, attention deficit disorder, schizophrenia, or conduct disorder face a number of risks and challenges as they struggle to become adults." (for more on this article, click here).

The facts are that some young men and young women from Michigan need professional help to complete the shift from adolescence to adulthood.

At The Crossroads is a therapeutic transitional living facility with programs for struggling young adults from Michigan. Our services are designed to teach life skills and encourage personal growth through a combination of education, restructuring, and therapeutic intervention.

We provide an environment that fosters this type of growth by focusing on the job training, academic assistance, and transitional living assistance. At The Crossroads provides behavioral and emotional counseling from psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, substance abuse specialists, and professional counselors (as needed).

ATC professional staff reinforce self-discipline and help students to build self-respect while developing a positive self-image. All of these elements work together to transform a young adult from Michigan into the person they want to be.

What is the best Independent Living Program in Michigan?

At The Crossroads is considered the best independent living program for young adults from Michigan by many educational consultants certified by the IECA (Independent Educational Consultant Association).

Job Training and Academic Support For Young Adults From Michigan

At The Crossroads isn't just an independent living facility dedicated to helping troubled young adults from Michigan. We're are known for providing the best job training and academic support for young adults in need of therapeutic intervention. We strongly believe that getting the right training & and education to secure a job will push a young adult forward with their life.

Successful independence is directly related to successful employment, and employment is predicated on training and education. Independence is always attached to a person's ability to provide for themselves, and getting the right support is the best way to make this happen.

Our job training programs provide young men and women a new perspective and a new start toward a successful and fulfilling future.

We provide a very effective approach by providing specialized job coaching. Effectual employment training and practical applications of workplace "best practices" will be key components to their success. Crossroads’ students attend school and go to work while living in a structured environment (including therapeutic support when needed).

Another important aspect of the treatment we provide is academic assistance. Many of the young adults from Michigan who enroll with ATC are still in need of completing their education. However, before they can successfully pursue a degree or trade, most of our students need to develop study skills and change their approach (attitude) toward academics.

We have been very successful in helping young people from Michigan restore their academic hopes and dreams. In addition, we provide specialized assistance for those with learning disorders (like ADHD). For more information about our academic assistance programs visit our Education and Vocation page.

All of the ATC elements work together to help the young adults from Michigan transform into the person they want to be. For immediate assistance call At The Crossroads (866) 439-0354 to speak with our Admissions Specialist. Start your child and your family on a path of restored hope - through life skills training with therapeutic transitional living. We can help!

Some parental advice for understanding your young adult child..

If you suspect that your teen is abusing drugs, talk to him or her. Avoid accusations. Instead, ask your child what's going on in his/her life and encourage them to be honest. If your teen admits to abusing drugs, let him or her know that you're disappointed. Enforce the consequences you've established and discuss the ways that they can help regain your lost trust.

If your teen’s attachment needs have gone unmet, for whatever reason, he or she has probably turned to their peer group to try to get them filled. Parenting becomes impossible when you aren’t your child’s security. You’ll need to do some relationship repair work to get your child’s attachment focused back on you where it belongs.
