Transition ProgramOur Transition Program is designed to assist with the growth of young adults who have often graduated from a structured group home. The Transitioning Adult will be deemed to need continued support and guidance, and in most cases, it is understood that they have realized a level of growth that has earned them heightened trust. Continued development of the Transitioning Adult will be a major focus and it will require their determination and flexibility as well as adherence to their program to succeed. While setbacks are expected, it is assumed that the Transitioning Adult will be open to the advice of our staff and clinical team in order to accept direction.This program is a clear move towards independence for these Transitioning Adults’; however, routine remains important to assist the Transitioning Adult to a level where they can accept independence.Transitioning Adults in our Transitioning Program reside in one of our 6 Supportive Living Homes throughout Durham Region.
