Residential Life

Participants engage with a cohort of young adults experiencing similar challenges. The group living experience mimics school or family environments and helps young adults develop skills to manage relationships with those around them. Mentor staff live alongside participants and manage interactions, the daily schedule and activities. Mentor staff and participants move through the daily schedule together participating in activities and groups together, managing daily assignments and to-dos, and helping participants address challenges and any difficulties.

Community Engagement

While at Confluence participants live within a community of peers. Together they co-create an experience where each contributes to the daily functioning of the program. From daily tasks including preparing meals together and managing the tidiness of the living spaces, to more creative pursuits such as making music and art together, participants shape a positive peer community where each person and their contributions are valued and respected. The results are positive connection, trusted relationships and an environment supportive of healing and growth.

Living Arrangements

The program feels, looks and functions as a home-like environment. The residence includes a spacious living room, a library, exercise/yoga space a dining room and kitchen. On-site participants sleep on the second floor in shared rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Confluence’s group living arrangements are similar to shared living arrangements at summer camps or school dormitories.
