Transition Age Youth Writing Out! Part 2

Letty's picture by Letty March 28, 2012 Add Comment

One of the fantastic aspects to working at PEERS is our values.  Although PEERS is not an age-concentrated organization, we have a fabulous transition age youth program called TAYi (Transition Age Youth Initiative). TAYi serves youth at risk for involvement in the mental-health care, foster care and juvenile-justice systems.  In honor of our values, we have asked the youth in our program to blog about their experiences or what keeps them well.  Thank you for taking the time to read our youths' posts!
