This new therapeutic transitional program is for young women, ages 17-24 who struggle with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, negative body image, relationship difficulties, and school failure. Other issues treated include low self esteem, immaturity and the lack of involvement in age appropriate activities.

Sovereign incorporates the 'Five Keys for Success' into three phases of their program designed to establish a student's independence. These keys represent emotional and spiritual wellness and each client receives 90 minutes of individual therapy and 5 group therapies each week; educational and career training, volunteering and apprenticeships allowing each client to develop a strong work ethic and personal responsibility, visual, performing and culinary arts and physical health and wellness. Upon completion of the program, these young women will leave with useable life skills which will include developing a personal leadership style, learning to build community connections and fundamental skills for entering the academic world and workforce.
