Independent Living Program

Red Rock Canyon School Independent Living Program is a structured living and learning environment where individuals have the opportunity to complete the tasks of adolescence and gain additional skills as well as the experience necessary for them to succeed as adults. Residents of the Independent Living Program learn what it means
to balance and value the freedoms they desire with the responsible behaviors that are expected of them upon turning 18 years of age.

Residents of Red Rock Canyon School Independent Living Program learn that proper planning and preparation leads to success in their development as fully capable adults. They are taught how to identify the things that matter the most in their lives and to make decisions that will prevent them from losing their newly gained freedoms and
responsibilities. Through this process they may begin to understand that acquiring the status of true adulthood requires more than just turning 18 years of age physically. They are given opportunities to continue to develop emotional, mental, and spiritual maturity.

With the tools, skills, and insights that can be acquired through the Independent Living Program, residents have the opportunity to internalize the behaviors necessary to demonstrate and declare: "I AM AN ADULT!". They will be ready, willing and capable of taking care of themselves and contributing to a greater cause, as well as achieve
success and happiness in their lives.
