Touchstone’s Transition to Independence Program supports youth aged 16–19 who are in care, preparing for independent living, or receiving support through a Youth Agreement.

Life Skills Counsellors work alongside youth to build practical skills, confidence, and independence as they prepare for adulthood. Support is based on each youth’s individual goals and Youth Independence Plan and may focus on areas such as daily living skills, accessing community resources, education or employment, healthy relationships, and navigating the responsibilities of greater independence.

Services are flexible and provided where they best meet the youth’s needs, including at Touchstone, in the community, at school, at home, or through outreach.

Referrals to TTI are made through Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) social workers.
