Community Support
Onward Transitions is a community-based mental health program designed for young adults who are ready for aftercare or step-down support following residential treatment. Or for those who simply need more structure while learning to live independently.
Through therapy, coaching, and apartment living with support, members learn to manage anxiety and depression, strengthen executive function skills, and grow in community with like-minded peers.
Our Approach
Our approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with trauma-informed care, offering both therapy and executive function coaching. Members receive gender-affirming support and evidence-based practices like CBT, ERP, and motivational interviewing.
THE FOCUS: Helping young adults identify their values and take real steps toward independence, healthier relationships, and balance.
An East Coast City with Room to Grow
Onward Transitions is based in Portland, Maine, a true coastal and cultural hub on the East Coast. Members live in independent downtown apartments within walking distance of food, music, arts, and job opportunities. This East Coast city setting offers the best of both worlds: a vibrant, cosmopolitan community with the accessibility and support emerging adults need as they practice independence.
