Many young people find themselves living on their own before they are
emotionally and financially prepared. Others have infants while still
teenagers themselves. FAMILY’s MidWay
Program is designed to help young adults ages 16–21 learn to live
successfully and build the skills to live independently.
Residents are
accepted into the program for up to 1˝ years, and those who are 16 can
stay until the age of 18. All must be in school or employed full time.
Residents participate in household chores, discussion groups, and
individual counseling sessions. Life
skill workshops cover topics such as budgeting, nutrition and cooking,
parenting, communication, and employment preparation.
Counselors are available at MidWay 24 hours a day, but the emphasis is on developing independence and responsibility. Each house has strict rules about visitors, curfew, and acceptable behaviors.
