TAY Space is a community center for youth ages 16-25 (transitional age youth, or TAY) who struggle with mental and/or emotional disorders...
Behavioral challenges, emotional difficulties, and mental health issues often reveal themselves in childhood and early adulthood. These challenges and issues can impact a young person’s functioning at home, in school, and in community. We view therapy as a partnership between youth, parents, other caregivers, and the clinician. Together, we help young people identify and understand their feelings, learn effective coping skills, and begin to heal from life’s challenges.
Many youth need support to access medical care and social services, provide support in obtaining housing, and identify school and job opportunities. Side by Side's Enhanced Care Management (ECM) uses a whole-person approach so our clients feel seen and understood and can gain independence through our multidisciplinary teams’ support.
Sometimes young students and older youth experience social, emotional, and/or behavioral challenges too acute for them to function in traditional schools. They require intensive therapeutic support and an education plan fitted to their specific needs.
