Comprehensive, in-depth programs, like At The Crossroads, offer life skill training designed to prepare young adult men and women to make positive life decisions. Parents, if you have an adult child from Tennessee who is struggling to launch, call At The Crossroads (ATC) at (866) 439-0354. Our job is to coach you regarding your next step.

ATC Accepts Young Adults From All Over The Country

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

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

Center for Independent Living Tennessee

Life Skill Training Programs in Tennessee, 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 Tennessee 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 Tennessee 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 Tennessee 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 Tennessee can come to ATC and learn these skills and return home to flourish.

Some parental advice for understanding your young adult child..

Putting love into action means making that connection with your child your highest priority. Love in action means paying thoughtful attention to what goes on between you, seeing things from the child's point of view, and always remembering that this child who sometimes may drive you crazy is still that precious baby you welcomed into your arms with so much hope.

Sleep and depression go hand in hand. A good night's sleep can help your child feel his or her best, both physically and emotionally. Teens whose parents enforce a bedtime of 10 p.m. or earlier are less likely to become depressed than teens who go to bed at midnight or later. Parents can promote good sleep by being consistent with bedtime routine and limiting screen time just before bed.
