Building Independence & Life Skills
Are you concerned about your young adult’s transition to independence?
The GrowNOW Young Adult Independence Program is designed specifically for individuals aged 16-30 who are struggling to gain traction in their life journey.
Through personalized coaching and real-world skill building, we help young adults develop the internal motivation and executive function skills needed to move forward confidently in life.
We focus on building genuine independence, not just following checklists or relying on external prompts. We work collaboratively with young adults and their families to develop sustainable skills, create meaningful goals, and establish a path toward true self-sufficiency.
What is the Young Adult Independence Program?
The Young Adult Independence Program is a specialized coaching service that helps young adults overcome barriers to independence and professional growth. Unlike traditional approaches that rely heavily on external organization systems, our program focuses on developing crucial internal skills like self-motivation, self-awareness, and future thinking.
Why Choose the Young Adult Independence Program?
Our approach is distinctly different because we:
1.Personalize Every Journey
We recognize that each individual’s path to independence is unique. Our coaches tailor strategies and goals to match your specific situation and challenges.
2.Build Internal Skills
Rather than creating dependency on external systems, we help develop fundamental skills like self-motivation, responsibility, and decision-making through real-world experiences.
3.Focus on Sustainable Growth
We create structured accountability while gradually building independence, ensuring skills and confidence develop naturally through varied experiences and strong relationships.
4.Involve Family Support
We work closely with families to establish healthy boundaries and communication patterns that support growing independence.
