 
Compass Young Adult Program
Who we treat
The Compass Program serves young adults, age 18 to 30, who are having problems managing the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The program is designed for these transitional adults who struggle with psychiatric disorders including:
- Mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorder)
- Anxiety disorders
- Postraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Emerging personality disorders (borderline, narcissistic)
- Adult attention-deficit disorder (ADHD)
- Dysfunctional reactions to developmental and life problems
- Self-harm behavior or past suicide attempts or concerns
- Self-esteem issues
Patients may also suffer from co-occurring addictive disorders such as drug or alcohol abuse or dependence.
Treatment addresses the specific needs of young adults. Many of the patients have had previous attempts at treatment but have been unable to make progress or sustain gains. A central focus of the program is to help determine what has stood in the way of progress and develop a path for sustained improvement.
The Compass treatment team helps patients in the program take shared responsibility for their problems, learn new coping skills and develop greater confidence in moving toward functioning adulthood.
