91桃色鈥� Emerging Adult Program offers three levels of care, including the Emerge Community Support Team (CST); MindStrong First Episode of Psychosis Program (FEP), and MindStrong Early Intervention for Clinical High Risk for psychosis (CHR-p) track. Services are offered in two locations 鈥� Chicago’s north and west sides and near west Cook County suburbs. Program participants must reside within geographic catchment areas designated around each site, as services are community-based. Staff primarily meet with young adults in their homes and the area around their homes, though some programs also offer office-based services.听 听

These groundbreaking programs for young adults and their families offer skill development and support needed for young adults to master mental health challenges while reducing the negative impact of those challenges on what matters most to them: relationships, school success, recreational activities, health and wellness, day-to-day living, and early career experiences. Guided听

by the latest scientific evidence and recognized best practice, each Emerging Adult program provides a unique array of services that share common core principles and methods. We use the Transition to Independence Process (TIP) Model as our foundational approach. TIP leverages young people’s voice and preference, and empowers them to make decisions, experience outcomes, and learn with the support of their team and self-identified supportive adults. Services are primarily individualized and delivered by a team of mental health professionals trained in听each evidence-based approach.

91桃色鈥� Emerging Adult Services provides young people with experiential learning within their communities to maximize success.

 

Intake and Referrals听

Emerging Adult Intake can be accessed by calling 773-432-6555 or emailing听youngadult@thresholds.org. Staff returns messages within 24 business hours, conducting a brief phone screen with the caller – often a parent, or mental health professional, but sometimes the young adult themself 鈥� to gather basic background information. Eligible individuals are scheduled for an in-person intake meeting, ideally within 72 hours, to ensure program services will meet their mental health needs.听

All Illinois Medicaid plans are accepted, as are听commercial insurance plans; please confirm听with your insurance carrier听that your plan is contracted at the in-network rate.听
