The Zone has helped me by being therapeutic and giving me a place that I feel accepted. A lot of the people are really nice and there is no judgement about any of my issues.

Youth
TAYLRD is...
- TAYLRD is more than drop-in centers. TAYLRD is a new way to reach out to youth and young adults ages 16-25 who are struggling with mental health and/or substance use challenges. TAYLRD reduces barriers for young people so that they can easily access much needed
behavioral health services and support. - TAYLRD is personalized to your life goals, not just your recovery & wellness journey. When a young person accesses TAYLRD they are first met with an opportunity to discuss and develop big picture life goals, then supports are offered to be built around those goals.
- TAYLRD is an information hub. At TAYLRD, we want young people to take charge of their health and lives, so we offer a variety of ways to explore the best information about behavioral health supports and services before someone commits to them. This can look like Q&A’s with providers, researching resources with a TAYLRD staff member, learning from peers who have gone through similar services, and more.
- TAYLRD is a peer friendly environment. We value lived experience with behavioral health within TAYLRD. Lived experience is the skills or knowledge someone gains when they have experienced something first-hand. For TAYLRD, we hire youth peer support specialists, youth coordinators, and train and support other types of youth leaders with lived experience to help create an environment where young people can support and learn from each other.
- TAYLRD is youth-driven. The voices and leadership of young people with lived experience are built into every aspect of planning, development, and application of supports and services for transition age youth within TAYLRD. When it comes to serving young people in TAYLRD, the young person is the one who gets to choose their own personalized set of supports and services.
