Bittersweet Graduation

Any time one of our students Graduates there is a real celebration. The staff and other students all share why they are proud of the graduate. And our graduate shares who his influences were and how they helped him in his journey. It is truly bittersweet, we have all bonded and it makes it that much harder to say goodbye. The students form a brotherhood that will last them a lifetime. We stay connected to them through aftercare and often they come back to mentor the younger generation. It is a beautiful full circle moment when we see that!

Once a student completes our residential treatment program he can then live in a less restrictive and structured environment. This may include an established proctor home, the home of a relative or family friend, live independently or return to their own home. We assist each program graduate to research, create and implement a relapse prevention/aftercare plan which is a map and resource guide to a successful future. For those who are of age and meet the criteria we encourage and assist with college placement and/or vocational training. We at Triumph Youth Services are very focused and dedicated to aftercare and proper transition to the next step of each student’s life. We hope to always be part of the very important positive support system each student will need throughout his life.

Terrell recently graduated, we are all so proud of him and the man he has become! We cannot wait to see where his success will take him.
