Program areas at St Vincent Home for Children
The Core Collective at Saint Vincent offers a Transitional Living Program (TLP) that welcomes youth ages 16-22 to live on The CC's campus for 24 months. While enrolled in the programs, youth access services that nurture and empower them to transition to independence: individual, group, and family therapy, personalized case management, life skills, and uplifting non-therapeutic counseling sessions. These resources guide, support, and inspire youth every step of the way. Even after completing the TLP, youth may receive up to 6 months of continued counseling and case management services to ensure they're well-prepared for their next adventure in independence.In 2023, 83% of TLP youth gained or maintained independent living/essential life skills by working with a multidisciplinary team.
