Independent Living Skills Independent living skills conducted three times per week in order to teach skills necessary for adult living. Topics include completing application and resumes, interviewing for a job, managing finances, finding a place to live, furnishing the home, clothing purchase and maintenance, transportation, and others. Safe Place is a community outreach program that allows youth that are in unsafe situations a means to obtain help quickly. Crisis calls may be from youth or adults concerned about a youth.

Sessions range from educational issues, therapeutic exercise, and recreational activities.
