The Transition Age Youth Launching Realized Dreams (TAYLRD)
Resource Details
The Transition Age Youth Launching Realized Dreams (TAYLRD) program offers services and supports to youth and young adults aged 16–25 who are struggling with mental health and/or substance use (behavioral health) issues.
Youth Peer Support Specialists have personal lived experience with behavioral health issues and are specially trained to support other young people who are currently facing similar issues or situations.
The TAYLRD uses a drop-in center approach to behavioral health care. The hope is that by providing behavioral health support in an engaging environment, TAYLRD will give youth and young adults a sense of belonging and ownership in their wellness and recovery.
TAYLRD’s goal is to empower young people by providing services and supports as chosen by the young adults. Examples include: peer support services; employment, education, and career planning; life skills development; medication management; health care navigation; and age-specific, developmentally appropriate behavioral health care.
