Our
Why
Youth and young adults who are not in crisis spend the period of emerging adulthood investing in themselves personally, educationally and vocationally.

The Small House Coaching Method
Process
When a young adult comes to us, we encourage a time of reflection and respite. Undoubtedly, the things they have been through have had an impact and we hold space to begin working through some of it if they choose to.
Pivot
When the time is right, game planning for their next move can begin. Applying a
theory U framework,
we work with the young adult as they gradually move from reflection to mapping out planned and thoughtful actions.
Progress
Now they’re ready to move on and move up. We support them as they put their new plan into action. After having done the work, they are more ready to begin meeting the difficult demands of adulthood.
