I’m posting this on a burner account because I am not willing to reveal my identity but I went to Engage Transitions. I was told it was going to be a small program of 4-6 adults ranging from the ages of 18 to 24, but when I got there, things swiftly started to change. More houses were being built and expanding the program and I no longer felt like it was the small community that I wanted to work on myself in. The staff were irritable and sometimes rude and demanding, often making me feel like I was forced to do activities that I didn’t want to do, or weren’t comfortable with, like the gym, hiking, rock climbing or something like that. They stopped the yoga sessions and things went downhill. Other clients there weren’t being punished for making the house feel unsafe, letting random strangers in, drinking, smoking, partying, getting other people high. And then the sexual assaults started happening, between minors and adults. The program and staff did nothing to ease the safety of the rest of the house and it continues to happen right under staff noses, for WEEKS at a time. They did nothing to make me feel safe there at all, and constantly was worried if I was going to be sexually assaulted next. The founders and therapists also didn’t do anything, they brushed all the concerns that some of the clients had about having minors in an adult facility. Obviously that backfired badly. I worry for the young adults that were assaulted by other clients that were adults. I firmly believe that background checks should be done on EVERYONE that enters the program, as some of the clients had histories of assaults, both physical and sexual. Jack Hinman, one of the co-founders of Engage said that he didn’t know how to do background checks, but how hard is it to hire someone who can? I warn everyone that enrolls here, please be aware of the dangers of this, and that not everything that the founders/therapists tell you is real. This is the truth.

My husband, son, and I engaged a consultant to help us find the right fit for a young adult transition program. It was clear that Engage was the right place for our family. In addition to being a welcoming and supportive community for our son, it was a great place to go deep through individual and group talk therapy, and community engagement through volunteering. We also participated in family therapy and while our son has graduated from the program, we continue to meet with our family therapist as we've made a great and lasting connection. While a "newer" program when we started with Engage, I really appreciated the leadership and staff's willingness and ability to hear and apply feedback to ensure the program was responsive to our needs. I highly recommend this program and I think the leadership and staff are doing the right work for the right reasons. Thank you Engage!

As a father of a young adult that attended the Engage program, I can say that the growth and self respect of my daughter is impressive. From having no defined path to follow, she is now happy attending College and working. My family fully recommend the Engage Young Adult program.

Dr. Jack Hinman and team provide an excellent program and our overall experience with Engage Transitions was quite positive. Our young adult was a participant at Engage for 11 months after personally selecting it from other similar programs. No situation or program is perfect, however the most important factor for us is that our son left a stronger person and continues to utilize skills he learned during his time at Engage.
Our family had many opportunities to collaborate with Jack and Lacey during this period. Every family has different circumstances, so we always appreciated their flexibility, support and feedback during all the ups and downs. We were fortunate to visit the Cedar City area and Engage House/apartments a few times and always had good experiences.
Last but not least, it a pleasure working with Josh on all things financial and Bridgeway Billing was amazing handling insurance.
