Healthy Transitions

The Transition from child to adulthood can be stressful. Varying levels of stress and pressure come from school, social relationships, exploring identity, and life transitions. Developing life skills is a life-long process; developing them early can reduce stress and negative consequences like homelessness, joblessness, incarceration and emotional or behavioral challenges.

Our goal is to help TCC rural teens and young adults cultivate personal awareness and discover their unique place in the world and a path to a successful adulthood. We do this through guidance in:

• FINDING ANSWERS and explore resources on topics they care about, like mental health, relationships, education, and more.
• FINDING OPPORTUNITIES, including volunteering, internships, jobs, and leadership opportunities, and other ways to change their lives and their world.
• FINDING INSPIRATION and learn from other who are volunteering, acting as leaders and role models, advocating, and making an impact in the lives of others.
• Increasing ACCESS, VOICE and OWNERSHIP in directing their own futures

• Virtual drop-in Youth and Young adult wellness hour
• Group Life Skills Trainings- on Health & Wellbeing Lessons (Career Readiness, Healthy Relationships, Identity, Education, Access to Health Care, Self-Esteem, Grief and Loss, Boundaries, Feelings and Emotions)
• Individual Health Education and Supports
• Developing a “Futures Plan” based on individual vision of adulthood, needs and strengths- Talking about life after high school, opportunities to explore your interests and talents, finding opportunities to gain independence and increase self-determination skills, tools for setting goals and creating a vision, Guiding you to learn about legal changes, including new rights and responsibilities when you reach certain ages (18 years and 21 years), Supporting you to meet educational and training goals
• Advocacy and support for youth and young adults needing or receiving behavioral health to help them voice their needs.

Healthy Transitions is for all young people living in our interior villages—whether they live with a serious mental health condition, trauma, or the daily stresses of life—adolescence is an important time to begin to understand mental health and wellbeing and the impact it has on our ability to learn, grow and lead in our communities. It is also a key time to begin to develop lifelong practices that nurture well-being. Cultivating the skills, time, and support to take proper care of oneself is an important component of emerging adulthood.
