Have you heard about our Transitioning to Adulthood (T2A) Program?
At New Heights we have a Transitioning to Adulthood (T2A) program. Amberly and Mel run this in-house support system for individuals ages 18-25. Our focus is to make the journey into adulthood less anxiety provoking, and more seamless! This is done through workshops, organization references, one on one support, community connection and more… There are 5 key areas that T2A is involved with which are: Employment, Post-Secondary Education, Health & Wellness, Social Opportunities and Independent Living. We have successfully walked alongside over 30 participants as they achieve their goals and are excited to be a part of every New Heights students’ transitions!
If you have questions about the T2A program at New Heights, feel free to contact Amberly and Mel!
School Photo Day
Ken Stewart will be at New Heights on October 19th to take our school photos.
