Coaching isn’t just about teaching — it’s about doing life together.
Whether it’s learning to make an omelette or exploring job applications side by side, real growth happens in relationship.

Our residents don’t just learn to be independent — they learn to be interdependent.
Because when connection comes first, confidence follows.

Beacon Transitions was proud to be part of an important conversation at the 2025 Young Adult Transition Association Conference!

Our Executive Director, Amanda Hale, joined Matt Sullivan, Dr. Dan Greenwood, and Dr. Sarah Schall for a panel discussion titled
“Wired for Connection: Ethical and Clinical Implications of Human–AI Relationships.”

The group explored how technology and AI are influencing the way young adults connect, learn, and build relationships—and why it’s so important for professionals in our field to stay involved in guiding this development with ethics, compassion, and thoughtful regulation.

We’re grateful to be part of a community that’s shaping the future of connection with intention and care. 💡🤝

🍕✨ Community, connection, and creativity! Some of our off-campus residents enjoyed a Make Your Own Pizza Night—topping their pies just the way they like them and sharing a delicious meal together. Nothing beats good food and even better company. 💛

✨ We’re grateful for the opportunity to present at NATSAP (National Association for Therapeutic Schools and Programs) this week! ✨

Our very own Marshall Young, Amanda Hale, and Kelly Stamey presented on the important topic of Technology, Addiction, and Autism—a conversation that continues to spark meaningful dialogue in our field. 💡📱

Connecting with colleagues who are just as passionate about supporting young adults was inspiring, and we’re excited to bring new insights back to our work here at Beacon Transitions.

🌸 Last week our residents spent time volunteering at the Veterans Healing Farm — helping out in the garden and learning how to make beautiful flower garlands together. 🌿✨

It was such a meaningful day of giving back, connecting with nature, and practicing creativity. 💛 Moments like these remind us how powerful community and hands-on experiences can be in building confidence and independence.

🔥🍗 Nothing says summer like barbecue chicken fresh off the grill! Add in some crispy homemade sweet potato fries 🍠✨ and you’ve got the perfect recipe for good food and good vibes.

After dinner, our crew relaxed in the hangout space 🎯 playing darts, laughing, and enjoying time together. It’s these little moments of connection that make Beacon feel like home. 💙

Over the past few weeks, our kitchen has been alive with flavor, friendship, and growth. From treasured family recipes shared with pride, to the first time someone fired up the grill 🔥, we’ve watched residents step into new skills—and support each other every step of the way. 👏

What started as a class has become a community ritual—mentoring each other, teaming up to prep and plate, and gathering around the table to enjoy the fruits of our labor. 🍽️💛

These moments remind us that cooking isn’t just about the food—it’s about learning, laughter, and breaking bread together. Whether it’s a perfectly seasoned dish, a lesson in teamwork, or just a shared smile in the kitchen, we’re celebrating every win. ✨

Thank you to everyone who’s shown up, tried something new, passed on what they know, and helped build something bigger than a meal. We’re proud of what we’re cooking up—inside and out. 🍞💬

Today some of our guys braved the chill and took on the legendary Sliding Rock — a natural waterslide tucked into the Pisgah National Forest! ❄️💪 From the icy plunge to the laughs shared along the way, it was the perfect mix of courage, connection, and cold water.

At Beacon, we believe in stretching comfort zones safely — and today’s crew definitely rose to the occasion. 🛷🌲

Our Program Director isn’t just leading with heart—he’s leading with muscle, too! 💪🍎

This week, he jumped in to guide a hands-on nutrition and fitness class with our residents, covering everything from building balanced meals to breaking a sweat with confidence. The energy was high, the conversations were real, and the gains—mental and physical—were undeniable. 🙌

At Beacon, we believe independence means knowing how to fuel your body, care for your health, and push your limits in a safe, supported environment. Huge shoutout to our team for walking the walk (and squatting the squat) alongside our young adults. 🏃‍♂️🥦

🌟 We welcomed the amazing crew from Talisman Summer Camp for a special tour of Beacon! 🌲☀️ Our residents had a blast connecting with campers, showing them around, and sharing what life at Beacon is all about. It was such a joy to see these two communities learning from and lifting each other up. 💬💛

We’re so proud of our residents for stepping into leadership roles and making everyone feel welcome. These moments of connection remind us why we do what we do. 🙌
