With an in-house Parent Coach and Family Dynamics Specialist, we help parents explore their behavioral tendencies - such as rescuing - and teach them how to replace those with empowering and supportive actions. We engage in both individual parent coaching work, as well as parental team coaching when there are more than one individual involved. Additionally, if and when everyone in the family is ready and able, we identify how the communication dynamics within individual relationships affect the family dynamic as a whole. We will then help each member of the family create new communication paradigms that help heal old wounds and create new healthy models of interacting that will last for years to come.

Throughout the process of adjusting to a new way of life, it is imperative that both our students and their support system are working with open lines of communication. Using family systems coaching, we help family break unhelpful patterns, notice communication dynamics, and understand how to relate more effectively.

At Atlas Life, we use crafting as a way to introduce students to creative outlets, art community, and potential vocational skills. We have found that working with their hands helps build self-efficacy, develop executive functioning and spatial awareness, and explore small business opportunities. We use a community maker’s space to build everyday tools that the students can use, like chef knives. Through this community space, each student is able to get certified in metal working, woodworking, and many other vocational and creative skills. Using knife making as an example, the process starts with an explanation of materials and how to properly care for them. Our coaches will help them explore different shapes and the benefits and limitations of each blade or handle. Once a design is completed we use grinders, sanders, drills, saw, forge and anvil, and sharpening stones to execute that individual's design. If a student has a desire to dive deeper into craftsmanship, we explore options like creating a small business or entering a trade school to expand on the basic skills learned.

At Atlas Life we specialize in helping our students explore their interests and the career paths that could be a good fit. We understand that everyone’s employment path looks different, and we work to meet the goals of the individual. For some, we help them find a stable, entry level position that can introduce them into the job market. For others, we find highly specific career opportunities that are furthering a passion or skill.
