Transitional living fosters independent living skills, supported by CooperRiis staff.
Transitional living at the Asheville Community Program is the best choice for gaining independent living skills, skills achieved while attending the residential program at the CooperRiis at Asheville or the CooperRiis Farm.
These newly learned skills come to life in the Asheville Community Program; residents’ dreams continue to take shape and increase his/her stability, hope, health, and tools to achieve full community re-integration, self-sufficiency, and engagement.
What starts as a dream statement often becomes a tangible, meaningful reality. For some, it means attending college or full-time employment. It implies better coping skills and a healthier approach to everyday living.
The CooperRiis Community Program in Asheville follows a stay at either our Asheville or Mill Spring main campuses.
