Individualized consultation focused on resilience, protective factors, healthy relationships, and self-advocacy so families develop confidence and tools leading to ongoing positive change. Care Coordination services can involve one or a combination of the following: resource coordination, one-on-one parenting, life skill-building sessions, and team-based collaboration and planning to address goals.

Care Coordination is a great transition from, or alternative to inpatient treatment, for youth in foster care, juvenile legal systems, and other out-of-home placements.

We offer coaching and skill-building activities to support young people while strengthening their life skills as they transition into adulthood. We provide one-on-one individualized coaching to help young adults develop skills including education, employment, housing, and connection to community resources.

Services are offered to any youth who wishes to participate, with additional resources available to young adults between 14-20 years old (Chafee eligible) who have previously been in a court-ordered, out-of-home placement.

Transitional-Aged Young Adult (TAYA) Diversion is a voluntary diversion program for young adults 18-25 years of age who have qualifying charges being processed through Albany County Circuit Court.

The purpose of TAYA is to provide services and supports that address needs, build skills, and develop positive connections in the community to prevent the likelihood of reoffending. Participation and successful completion of the TAYA program presents the possibility for the dismissal of charges.

Through the transition phase, youth may be preparing to rejoin their family or live independently. Young people transition successfully into adult independent living by building supportive relationships, learning life skills, and seeking employment.

We connect with alumni frequently to check-in. If needed, we connect them to resources including scholarships for continuing education, and temporary financial assistance, and align them with supportive long-term resources to maximize their potential.
