Crossroads - a structured transitional living program
Montcalm Crossroads structured transitional living (STL), an alternative program of Montcalm School, is designed to help students make the transition from cottage life to a more independent living environment. These teens typically have exited a traditional residential treatment program and may be transitioning back into the community, going to college or simply returning to their family.
Youth in Montcalm Crossroads live in on-campus apartments in a home-like setting where they have the chance to learn, with supervision, the realities of budgeting, shopping, cooking, cleaning and managing time. Students are likely to have a job on or off campus and several are enrolled in entry-level classes at Kellogg Community College. The unique Crossroads 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
- located on the beautiful campus of Starr Commonwealth with access to gym facilities and the lakefront
