  There are not enough words on planet Earth to communicate the life changing experience our family and son have had with the heroes at Engage Transitions. For decades, we've focused on helping our son in every imaginable way. And it always felt like it was never enough. Like we were missing something intrinsic to his health and happiness. We surrounded ourselves with subject matter experts, did every possible test and therapeutic offering, flew around the country, read book after book, trying anything and everything to finally crack the complex code of our sweet son. And we just couldn't get there. Until now. From the extraordinary founder, Dr. Jack Hinman, to the profoundly empathetic, calm, and incredibly talented therapists, life coaches, case managers, academic advisors and medical experts, we feel as if the dense fog of uncertainty about how best to help our son has finally lifted. Quite simply, we've learned more and seen more progress from our son these past two months than we've seen in a decade. There is no magic here. No pixie dust. We know that as a family, and for our son, there is a long road ahead as he seeks to build the life he deserves. The difference is this. We are now guided by the "A Team." As my husband recently said, "These are the highest performing folks we've yet to work with, and Jack has helped build this eco-system of professionals who are unrelenting in their desire to help these young adults." This is flat out the truth. They center their clients in such a customized way, and these are some of the kindest, smartest folks you'll ever meet. What Jack and his team have created is nothing short of remarkable. They have built a true living community that is so awesome! When we look back on our lives, on the decisions we made as parents to pull out all the stops, to do whatever it took to care for our kids, this chapter with Engage Transitions will be one of our most peaceful, fulfilling chapters.

  Jack brings a thoughtful and grounded approach to the Engage Young Adults program. In every interaction, it’s clear he’s intentional about how he leads, and he balances structure with flexibility in a way that feels genuinely effective.

  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.
