TRAIL ACADEMY

teaching, reaching, and achieving independent living

The TRAIL Academy is designed to teach and prepare individuals to live independently, have fulfilling social relationships, and be able to access local resources. The program is time-limited, with a maximum of 18 months. Initially providing support 24 hours per day, the level of support decreases over the course of the program as skill levels and self-confidence increase.
Funding for this program is supported by Lancaster County BHDS.

TRAIL addresses daily living skills such as:

Cooking and cleaning
Increasing independence in medication and health management
Building self-reliance and increasing social involvement
Knowledge of community resources
Emergency and safety proficiency
Budgeting
Technology/online skills
Use of public transportation
Securing employment

PROGRAM testimonial

“I’m glad I’m working because when I wasn’t, I was hanging out at the house all the time, so now I’m out doing things. I feel good because I know that I’m able do it and I don’t need anybody telling me that I have to do it.”

– Ryan
