TIP (now known as our TAY Program) has been one of MBI Health Services’ shining programs found within its walls. Kids ranging from 14 years to 29 years of age are able to experience a different, and much more positive way of life with the help, and guidance, of the TAY Team found at our headquarters location in Washington D.C.
The Transition to Independence Process Program is an evidence-based practice for youth that range between 14 to 29 years of age. By using the Seven TIP Core Practice Modules (SCORA, What’s UP, Rationales, SODAS, In-Vivo, Strength Discovery/Needs Assessment, Future’s Planning), youth are able to move towards independence in life.
Since TIP’s implementation at MBI in 2013, the following has been accomplished for our youth:
Increased amount of participation in treatment services
Increased levels of employment
Reduced amount of substance abuse
Enrollment in higher educational programs
Additional support from Family and community providers
Upon assisting Washington DC’s most vulnerable population, MBI’s TAY Program has been recognized for providing the following services for our youth:
