Why does family therapy matter when a young adult is the one in treatment? Because nobody struggles in a vacuum. Family systems therapy looks at the whole family, not only the person who's having a hard time.

Communication habits, conflict, and stress within a family can affect every member. Family systems therapy helps families swap blame for an understanding of patterns that may be repeating without anyone noticing. Together, families work on improving communication, setting clear and healthy boundaries, defining expectations, practicing healthy coping strategies, and processing unresolved trauma.

"Your now is not your forever" – John Green

It can be really easy to focus on whatever is going wrong in your "now", but the important thing to remember is that your "now" is not your "forever". No matter what you're facing in life, your "now" is temporary and it's never too late to start building the life you want.

What actually happens in residential mental health treatment? At Confluence, care moves through four phases: stabilization, assessment, treatment, and transition.

First, participants get room to step away from the noise of work, school, technology, and strained relationships. Next comes a comprehensive assessment, including a psychiatric evaluation, biopsychosocial and nursing assessments, and neuropsychological testing, so participants and families get a clear picture and an individualized treatment roadmap. From there, individual therapy, group work, experiential activities, and skills practice build tools like distress tolerance, effective communication, and resilience. Before discharge, the team plans next steps with each participant, and Aftercare Support helps keep the momentum going.

Confluence is a state-licensed, nationally accredited, short-term residential treatment program in Vermont for young adults navigating the transition to adulthood.

How common is anxiety in young adults? More common than most people realize. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly 1 in 3 young adults in the U.S. will experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives.

Anxiety goes beyond everyday worry. Generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, and panic disorder can make it hard to focus at work or school, keep up with relationships, or even get through a full inbox. Adults ages 18 to 34 name money, the economy, and housing costs among their biggest sources of stress, and many young men keep what they're feeling to themselves.

Here's the hopeful part: anxiety disorders are among the most treatable mental health conditions, especially when support starts early.

We had such a great couple of days celebrating 10 years of Confluence. 💙

So many lovely people joined us for the celebration, and we got to spend two full days showing them around both of our programs, introducing them to our staff, and spending time in the communities that make up such a big part of what we do.

We’re really grateful to everyone who came out and spent time with us.
It meant a lot to have you here.

Sometimes you learn more by actually getting out there and doing something than you do by just talking about it. Experiential learning gives you a chance to try new things, work through the hard stuff, connect with others, and figure out what works for you. Whether you’re hiking, making music, creating something, or trying something that’s a little outside your comfort zone, you’re building skills you can take with you into everyday life.

Sometimes weekly therapy isn’t quite enough, but living at a treatment center doesn’t feel necessary either.

Our young adult intensive outpatient program in Burlington, Vermont offers individual therapy, group support, and hands-on activities throughout the week, creating more opportunities to work through mental health challenges, connect with others, and practice new skills while continuing with everyday life.

For young adults who may benefit from more consistent mental health support, IOP can help fill that gap. Learn more about the intensive outpatient program at Confluence Behavioral Health.

We’re kicking off our 10-year celebration with a day out on the water. ⛵️

Last week, we had some wonderful people join us for a couple of days, including a sailboat trip in the Vermont countryside. It was such a fun way to spend some time together and show everyone a little more of what makes this place special.

We’re so glad we got to celebrate 10 years of Confluence with some of the people who have been part of it along the way. 💙
