Skill Building Programs

Level Up is designed for young adults (ages 18-24) in their final years of high school or recent graduates. The program aims to equip participants with essential life skills, fostering greater independence and readiness for future responsibilities.

Level Up focuses on applying self-regulation strategies to manage emotions and behavior, strengthening conversational skills in appropriate social contexts, deepening understanding and application of theory of mind, exploring dating and relationships, and building the skills and knowledge necessary for greater adult independence.
