Taking on the responsibilities of living independently as an adult can be a challenge for any young man or woman with disabilities.

How We Can Help

In many cases, Damar clients ready for more independence need some help making the transition. Using group homes, Damar Transitional Living Services provides group homes that serve youth who are in transition. These homes offer secure and comfortable environments with support and services including:

24-hour supervision and daily skills training from trained direct service staff
Individual, family, and group counseling provided by a master’s level therapist
Treatment provided by a multi-disciplinary team, including health and recreational services
IEP services provided by either Damar’s accredited on-campus school or one of the local public schools
Integration into the community through daily exposure and practice
Family involvement, training, and support

Damar can also help people with disabilities connect with employment opportunities and other services that can help them live more independent lives. If you would like to be contacted by someone from Transitional Living Services, provide your contact information. We’ll get back to you as quickly as possible.

Matthew’s Story

At Damar, we sometimes do some pretty complicated, technical things to help adults and children live better lives. Other times, we just help to make dreams come true. We were able to do that for Matthew Hanes.
