“If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll probably end up somewhere else.”

At Insight Intensive we know that a young man can’t effectively launch unless he knows where he’s planning to land. So before a participant even arrives on campus, we begin the process of identifying a clear sense of what, specifically, we are preparing him for in terms of school, work, and independence. To be successful, we must construct a clear Life Plan that is:

  • Ambitious but—with the right preparation—realistic
  • Personalized around the participant’s strengths and interests
  • Motivating to the participant
  • Supported by family—both emotionally and concretely

A well-constructed Life Plan informs everything else that happens at Insight Intensive. It’s what allows us to implement a highly personalized and effective program of therapy, health and wellness, academics, vocational training, life skills training, and socialization for each participant.
