Transition into Supported Living

We recently had the opportunity to sit down with Hillary, the mother of one of the incredible young men we support. Her son has made a major life transition, moving from the comfort and familiarity of home into one of our supported living placements.

In this interview, Hillary shares what the journey has been like from a parent’s perspective: the hopes, the worries, and the moments of pride that come with watching your child take their first steps toward independence. She opens up about how the change has not only helped her son gain confidence and life skills, but has also brought a renewed sense of balance, peace of mind, and possibility into their family life.

From preparing for the move to settling into a new routine, Hillary reflects on the emotional highs, the surprising lessons, and the joy of seeing her son thrive in an environment designed to empower him. Her story highlights just how transformative the right support can be — for the whole family.
