HYPE Training & Consultation Information
Looking for expert guidance to enhance programming?
At HYPE, we're dedicated to supporting organizations in their mission to provide effective services for young adults with mental health conditions. Our experienced team offers comprehensive training and consultation designed to equip your organization with the knowledge and tools needed to make a meaningful impact.
Programs must transform their approach by incorporating education as an essential vocational intervention required to meet a young adult’s individualized long-term career goals. Doing so can prevent issues like unemployment, underemployment, reliance on government entitlements, and the development of disability identities.
What We Offer
Whether you're looking to enhance your staff's understanding of the unique needs of young adults with mental health conditions, incorporate education support into existing employment or career services, create a HYPE program, initiate wider system transformation, or develop a larger sustainable model of career supports, we're here to help.
Our core training offerings include the overarching HYPE model, complemented by adaptations such as:
- Focused Skill & Strategy Training (FSST): a comprehensive manualized intervention designed to systematically teach executive functioning skills and compensatory strategies essential for success in work and school.
- HYPE on Campus (HOC): a pioneering program model that provides intensive support to address the specific needs of college students with mental health conditions and bridge the gaps in campus services.
- HYPE Career Planning Courses: a group intervention designed to meet the career preparation needs of young adults with mental health conditions.
