MyPlace - a transitional living program
MyPlace transitional living programs are housed in two locations, Albion, Michigan and Van Wert, Ohio. Both are home-like settings where boys and girls 17-21 years, whose best interests are served by living in a less restrictive environment where they can practice life skills, and live in their own fully furnished apartments. There they have the chance to learn, with supervision, the realities of budgeting, shopping, cooking, cleaning and managing time in their own place. These teens typically have exited a traditional residential treatment program and are ready to spread their wings - but with a safety net. The unique MyPlace program features:
- a safe, secure environment with staff present 24/7
- a dedicated staff of daytime independent living specialists and evening staff
- an in-house case management specialist providing individual counseling and group work
- assistance helping teens connect with outside services like churches, schools, etc...
- staff works with family and Educational Consultants to identify the best next step for teen - college, technical school or work program
