ATC Accepts Young Adults From All Over The Country
Although At The Crossroads may be located outside the state of Delaware, ATC accepts young adults from all over the country.
Many young men and women from Delaware have chosen to relocate to our location in Southern Utah to attend ATC, and successfully learn the life skills necessary to make the transition to adulthood.
We are located in the perfect place to "take time out" to learn the essential life skills needed to be self-supporting successful adults. If you are set on finding an Independent living program in Delaware, we can assist you in making a recommendation.
Unfortunately, sometimes vital Life preparation skills needed by young men and women entering adulthood were not acquired during adolescence.
Young people in this category may have learned by "trial and error", with devastating effects. "Life skills" refer to the skills every adult needs in order to live a "quality life." Life skills are intended to guide us in living functional lives, where we accomplish our dreams and live up to our full potential.
If your young adult from Delaware requires life skill development, then consider contacting ATC.

Center for Independent Living Delaware
Life Skill Training Programs in Delaware, such as At The Crossroads, typically include personal development training. This type of training involves effective communication skills, interpersonal skills (anger management and dealing with stress), time management, personal appearance, and money management.
Money management is a significant issue. It usually includes skills training on credit building, proper use of "credit" (best practices), paying monthly bills on time, managing a checking account and saving money.
Another important life skill for students from Delaware is the ownership of personal property, as an automobile (this typically includes maintenance of cars and insurance). What's more are the personal life skills such as, medical and health insurance, signing a lease for an apartment or home, and picking the right roommates.
In addition, there is job preparedness, finding and keeping a job, creating resumes, job interview practice, career guidance, and paying taxes and filing tax returns. ATC clients from Delaware receive these types of training and more.
What About Education?
It takes skill to apply to college and get financial aid. You have to be patient, tenacious, and thorough. A college experience can change the direction of one's life.
To fail to attend college due to a failure to navigate the application process would be sad. In addition, good students learn to balance the demands of school, work, and social activities. We teach "balance" in all aspects of life to the Delaware clients of ATC.
Is your young adult able to apply to college and balance academics and social activities? If not, consider the ATC program as the place for him or her to learn these skills.
Additionally, there are more life skills that are important to learn... shopping for groceries, cooking, learning about good nutrition, physical fitness, and balancing social events with obligations and responsibilities.
Finally, there is creating/managing a budget for expenses, such as rent, food, utilities, clothing, recreation. Students from Delaware can come to ATC and learn these skills and return home to flourish.

Some parental advice for understanding your young adult child..
Feeling good about yourself is healthy. But people should feel bad if they have hurt someone or have done something wrong. Do not be afraid to let your child feel guilty in certain situations, they need to feel bad sometimes. Guilt can be a healthy emotion. When kids have done something wrong, they need to feel bad, they need to feel guilty so that they won’t want to feel that way again.
Have respect for your son or daughter by assuming that they have a legitimate reason behind their views or behaviors. It may not be what YOU would consider a good reason, but it is a reason. If you want to understand him/her, you’ll need to give the basic respect of trying to see things from their point of view. Say whatever you need to say and then close your mouth and listen.
