Embracing The Potential for a Better Future

Individualized clinical services provided by licensed professionals
Assistance in securing safe, long-term housing
Counseling, case management, and rehabilitation
Access to programs that build daily living, social, and developmental skills
Specialized services for supported employment, peer support, and substance use prevention, as appropriate
Access to registered nursing and psychiatry services for medication management and monitoring

Our Goals
The Comprehensive Class Member Transition Program helps individuals move toward greater independence while maintaining stability in the least restrictive setting possible. Our goals include:
Supporting successful transitions to community living
Enhancing independent living skills
Preventing destabilization of mental and behavioral health conditions and recidivism through consistent, compassionate support
Why CCMTP Is Different
NYAP’s Comprehensive Class Member Transition Program stands out because of its person-first approach. We walk alongside each individual through every stage of their transition, providing the structure, support, and advocacy they need to build a fulfilling, self-directed life in the community.
