The United States is facing an epidemic of young adults who are unmotivated or afraid to leave their homes and progress into the next phase of life. These young people, who are caught between worlds and struggling with poor life skills, find it difficult to transition from adolescence to adulthood. Although this trend is gaining momentum, and many are trapped in its vicious cycle, there is still hope.
At Red Mountain Sedona (RMS), we have developed a life-changing environment that helps underachieving young adults form the necessary skills that will assist them in transforming their thinking and cross the bridge that leads to adulthood.
These skills include:
• Goal-setting.
• Financial planning.
• Cleaning.
• Time management.
• Vocational training.
• Etiquette.
• Sleep hygiene.
• Ending self-defeating behaviors.
• Learning how to have fun in a safe way.
• Effective communication.
• Exercise.
• Nutrition.
We help our students set goals, and then give them the tools and motivation they need to move toward fulfilling them. As they accomplish the tasks that propel them forward, a strong sense of confidence and optimism arises. This “achievement cycle” creates a profound sense of success for the student, giving them a new perspective on their abilities and role in the community.
In response to a healing environment and supportive coaching, RMS students develop the skills necessary to plan their life journey and follow it in a satisfying way.
Our students have experienced the “miracle of emerging,” transitioning from “being stuck and paralyzed” to becoming “optimistic and confident.” Often, young adults who have substance issues or suffer from depression become “locked up” emotionally and stuck in an immature life development stage. Our end goal is to eradicate this type of thinking by giving them successful encounters with the very fears that have consumed them. This leads to a powerful and lasting transformation.
