Journey Home East is designed as a 6-12 month step down transitional independent living program that offers therapeutic support, life skills development and refinement, and a template for personal growth and responsibility. Based on structure, support, and mentoring, young women emerge from the Journey Home East program emotionally and intellectually equipped to navigate young adult life.
Our core principles guide our program, from daily decisions to therapeutic goals. Learn more about how they help our students lead happy, productive lives.
We work with young women ages 16-21 that have successfully completed a prior therapeutic treatment and want to continue that success into the future.
See why so many people want to call Asheville home! Our eclectic and diverse city has so much to offer, and the outdoors offerings are equally as impressive!
