The LAUNCH Young Adult Empowerment Center offers a comprehensive life skills program that supports young adults in their quest to achieve lasting sobriety. We work with clients in sober-living facilities and other structured environments to pursue vocational training, accomplish educational goals, and develop meaningful social relationships. Along with providing educational counseling services, LAUNCH assists in job placement and internships and manages education plans. Each client is assigned a personal therapist who is a highly skilled professional. The therapist works one-on-one with the recovering man or woman to identify and use his or her unique talents, skills and passions to achieve their personal goals and become self-reliant. The first step for many clients is completing their education. Whether it's attending a local college or a trade school, our counselors help clients achieve their educational goals while in treatment. Also, LAUNCH has close relationships with many local businesses that offer paid or volunteer internship opportunities. This real-life experience has proved invaluable in helping clients gain experience in the working world. Developing healthy relationships is also essential to living a full and satisfying life. Through activities such as peer feedback, LAUNCH counselors help clients learn about personal boundaries and honesty, and how to express their emotions and needs. They also come to understand the importance of compromise and effective listening. There are many aspects of being a responsible adult that aren't taught in school, such as managing finances and time, creating schedules, and even fitness and nutrition. We believe that learning these everyday life skills are essential to being a confident, responsible, and independent adult.
