ATC Accepts Young Adults From All Over The Country

Although At The Crossroads may be located outside the state of North Carolina, ATC accepts young adults from all over the country.

Many young men and women from North Carolina 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 North Carolina, 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 North Carolina requires life skill development, then consider contacting ATC.

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 North Carolina 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 North Carolina 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 North Carolina can come to ATC and learn these skills and return home to flourish.

Important facts that parents should know..

The possible red flags in teen drug abuse include, loss of interest in family activities or hobbies, hostile attitude, secrecy, stealing money, medicine containers, an unusual chemical smell in your child’s room, and sudden changes in friends, eating and sleeping habits, appearance and coordination or school performance.

When kids try alcohol before their brains are ready, they are much more likely to not be able to handle drinking as adults. That is one of the reasons why it's so important for teens to wait until they’re of age. Another fact is that their brain is still developing, so using alcohol actually changes the way their brain works and makes it less smart and less happy, for the rest of their lives.
