The Hope Forward TAY Independence Program provides outpatient mental health and substance use services, independent living skills programming, and other wellness resources in a residential area of Turlock in Stanislaus County. The program center's goal is to help vulnerable youth and young adults create a pathway to independence.

 

The site is conveniently located to help young people acquire long-term community resources and employment. By providing supports and services in a home-like setting within the community, care is provided in the most appropriate and least restrictive environment. The unique needs and strengths of each youth and family are assessed frequently, and modifications to support plans are made as soon as the need is identified. Each youth and family is engaged through a Child and Family Team (CFT) process and youth development model.

​

​Aspiranet's team approach provides intensive support and services where they are most needed –in the family's home, school, and/or community. Family services are centered on the identified needs of each unique family and youth. The youth who will be served in the program are among the most vulnerable in our communities. Aspiranet staff work with youth, families, and community members to address stigma and behaviors that keep these youth from reaching their full potential.
