There Is No Health Without Mental Health: A New Model

By Evan Taff, Owner

Residential placement for individuals with chronic emotional challenges and wraparound services in the Metro MD/DC area

Transition House offers a model for statewide residential placement and home-based behavioral health services. We provide services for adults and seniors dealing with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, aging-related issues, and the onset of mental health and medical diagnoses. Our mission is to bridge the gap between crisis centers, hospitals, and long-term housing solutions, offering a holistic and compassionate approach to mental health care.

Wraparound resources are offered to individuals and/or families, from finding housing to utilizing our specialists in nursing, medication management, and coaching/therapy. Our goal is to provide the emotional and practical support needed to prevent extreme isolation and escalated mental health challenges.

Individuals can be in their own homes, a facility, or a Transition House residence and still benefit from a normalized environment that prevents escalation of their acute or chronic emotional challenges. Utilizing daily activities such as fitness, recreational therapy, nurse visits, Zoom sessions with doctors, and daily life coaching enables individuals to maintain a quality of life, whether they need 24/7 care or flexible supervision.

We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to lead a fulfilling life, regardless of the challenges they face, and we are committed to providing the support needed to achieve this. Case-directed coaching is crucial for families in turmoil due to their loved one’s mental health challenges. Care management at the residence helps mentor individuals, ultimately increasing their motivation and coping skills. Consultation and coordination with the entire team enable clients to receive individualized assessments and ongoing evaluation for measurable outcomes. Whether residential placement with mental health services is short or long term, Transition House focuses on supporting families to prevent turmoil and giving people a chance to explore their potential. Family coaching and regular residential sessions foster effective living with others.

Holistic sessions offer a well-rounded approach to care for seniors needing a more monitored living arrangement. Dedicated case management, focusing on respite, calm, reiki, and mental stimulation, ensures continued daily living enrichment. Organized team meetings with doctors and psychiatrists are essential when adjusting care plans. Transition House case management professionals assist in mediating, advocating, installing advanced technology, switching doctors if necessary, and advocating on behalf of individuals and families to existing programs and/or professionals. The variety of specialists under the Transition House umbrella creates an interdisciplinary, innovative residential model that can be implemented in any setting, no matter where a person lives. Individualized lifestyle planning fosters motivation and intrinsic rewards at any age.
