Our Mission
Respecting Autonomy, Dignity, Integrity, and Recovery

Transitional Resources helps adults living with the most serious and persistent forms of mental illness by providing respectful and optimistic recovery-oriented services, affordable housing, and advocacy against discrimination which works to break the cycle of incarceration, hospitalization and homelessness.

Description:
Transitional Resources offers a full spectrum of optimistic and respectful mental health services to adults with major mental illnesses.

Our programs create supportive opportunities for those with the most serious forms of mental illness to succeed and experience recovery.

Providing Hope, Opportunity, and Recovery since l976.

Philosophy and Services

Who We Serve: Clients range in age from 18-59 and represent a wide range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

The vast majority of the individuals TR serves have experienced multiple hospitalizations or incarceration, and most have been homeless.

Dedicated Staff: Our staff includes case aids, rehabilitation counselors, case managers, housing specialists, vocational specialists, a nurse, psychiatrist, and an Ethnic and Cultural Minority specialist.

History:
Transitional Resources is a licensed mental health center and residential program located in West Seattle. The agency was founded in l976 as a residential treatment facility for young adults diagnosed with mental illness. What began as a residential treatment program for fifteen has now grown to include six different programs serving over 200 individuals each year.

Despite our growth, we have retained highly personalized care tailored to the individualized needs of each consumer. Our services are enhanced by a strong sense of community that not only provides natural support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but inspires hope in consumers who are in the early stages of recovery.

We highly value work, education, volunteer experiences, and involvement in other meaningful adult activities as important components of recovery. Our belief that consumers can and want to work and lead meaningful lives is demonstrated by the many vocational services we have offered since the agency’s inception.

We value the same things that those with mental illness do:

• to have decent housing;
• to feel needed and wanted;
• to be part of a community;
• to work and engage in meaningful, age-appropriate activities; and,
• to hope for a highly personalized form of recovery.
  
  

TR achieves this for our clients with a remarkably committed and motivated staff and Board. We are attuned to the individuals we serve, and continue to partner with them and their families, as well as engage informal and formal systems to meet the clients’ needs.
