EMERGE

EMERGE is a comprehensive adult mental health program designed to provide support, resources, and guidance for clients ages 24 to 30. These adults often struggle with consistency in their education and/or vocation, anxiety, depression, overuse of technology, detachment from community, and have overall loss of motivation. Emerge focuses on empowering adults to gain self-awareness, build resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies to successfully navigate the complexities of adulthood.  

​

The program is staffed by a team of experienced mental health professionals, including therapists, case managers, and academic/vocational coaches who work collaboratively to provide individualized care tailored to each participant's unique needs. 

​

Key components of the Emerge program include: 

 

Independent Living: Adults in Emerge live in a single-family home in the heart of Bend, OR. Each client has their own room with a shared living space to create community and obtain support from their peers. Their case manager is present during the day to ensure clients receive guidance and practice accountability.  

​

Individual Therapy: Participants engage in weekly one-on-one therapy sessions with a licensed therapist to explore their emotions, thoughts, growth, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment. 

​

Group Therapy: Group therapy sessions are offered once a week and provide space for participants to connect with peers facing similar challenges, share their experiences, and learn from one another in a non-judgmental, supportive setting. 

​

Life Skills: Emerge offers coaching of essential life skills which include stress management, DBT skills, self-efficacy, executive functioning, tech management, recovery support, and goal setting to help enhance the client's overall well-being and independence. 

 

Family Support: Emerge recognizes the importance of family involvement, therefore, we offer bi-weekly family therapy sessions and a three-day multi-family workshop to allow space for you and your adult to grow together. These opportunities promote understanding, create trust, enhance communication, and provide the skills to help build and maintain a healthy family system.  

​

Aftercare Planning: Emerge supports participants in developing personalized aftercare plans to ensure continuity of care and ongoing support as clients transition out of the program. 

​

The mission of Emerge is to empower adults and their families to become more skillful, resilient, and independent in pursuit of their life goals.
