Life Skills Department Focuses on 6 KEY Goals:
The goal is for every student at Telos U to experience employment of some kind while enrolled in the program. We support our students by helping them immerse themselves in the community through service or finding a job. Our therapists, advocates, advisors, and life coaches assist students in overcoming emotional and behavioral obstacles that may have hampered their ability to find or sustain service or employment in the past.
In addition to a personal therapist and academic advisor, every student at Telos U receives a Life Coach who is dedicated to his/her success. These caring staff are the “boots on the ground” that help students get to appointments, cook meals, and learn other practical independent living skills “in the field.” The Life Coach helps our students create daily purposeful action.
