Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

CLIENT PROFILE – The PASSPORT Program is designed for young adults (male and female) who are struggling to gain independence, finding the transition to adulthood daunting, overwhelmed by the high-pressure climate of the DC Metropolitan area, lacking the confidence to successfully embrace college or a new career, and beginning to feel lost, depressed, anxious or socially isolated.

The PASSPORT Program is not designed to accommodate the needs of young adults with developmental delays, cognitive challenges, a long history of chronic mental illness, addiction that is primary, or recurrent suicidality.
In order to provide an individualized approach, the PASSPORT Program is limited to 6 clients at a time.
