our residents
For many young adults, learning how to cope in the world after high school is a challenge. In fact, for most, it’s a rather complex process. Figuring out what to do, then finding a job, managing finances and paying bills, getting along with a roommate for the first time, figuring out that cooking means more than nuking something in the microwave. Each of these involves a learning process and when tackled all at once, can be overwhelming to even the most capable among us. Now imagine attempting to take it all on with extra cognitive challenges. That’s what the residents of Napa, California-based Moving Forward Towards Independence face — with enthusiasm and courage — every day.
