One Connected Path of Care
Support That Grows With Each Young Person.
From Stabilization to Independence - and Beyond
BWI’s Soaring Together Program provides a coordinated continuum of care designed to support children, youth and families from initial assessment through stabilization, specialized care, skill development, increasing independence and lifelong connection.
Support can change as a young person’s needs change. Rather than moving between disconnected services, the Soaring Together Program creates a pathway where care, relationships, planning and supports can continue to grow alongside them.
One Child. One Plan. One Community. A Lifetime of Possibilities.
THE SOARING TOGETHER CONTINUUM
7 Steps. One Connected Path. Together We Soar.
From stabilization to lifelong connection, each step is part of one coordinated continuum of care — allowing support to grow and change alongside each child, youth and family.

Transitional Living Program
A graduated pathway toward independence.

Family Strengthening Program
Rebuilding connections. Strengthening families.
BWI works alongside families to strengthen relationships, build practical parenting and caregiving skills, and create safer, more stable home environments. Support is individualized to each family and may include coaching, advocacy, family visits, life-skills development and connection to community resources.
GOAL: Strengthen families, improve stability and support safe, lasting connections between children, youth, and the people that matter most to them.

Life Skills Academy
Practical skills for greater independence.
Youth build practical skills in budgeting, cooking, grocery shopping, household management, education, employment readiness and community living. Learning is hands-on and individualized to each young person’s goals.
GOAL: Build confidence, practical life skills and greater independence for adulthood.

Alumni & Aftercare Support
Lifelong Connection.
BWI’s support continues beyond formal programming. Young people can stay connected through regular check-ins, crisis support, housing assistance, employment and education support, community mentorship, cultural connection and access to BWI resources.
GOAL: Provide lifelong connection and continued support as young people build successful, independent futures.
THE BWI PROMISE
Every Young Person Deserves a Place to Belong — and a Future to Soar Toward.
