Such a meaningful afternoon for our Beacon team! 🧺✨ We rolled up our sleeves and helped sort clothing donations locally — side by side, residents and staff, working together to give back.

☀️ Golden Hour at Jump Off Rock 🌄

Last week’s sunset outing was one for the books! The Beacon crew headed up to Jump Off Rock to soak in the views and enjoy some sunshine before this week’s rain rolled in. Moments like these remind us how important it is to pause, connect, and take in the beauty around us.

Here’s to making the most of clear skies and shared adventures! 💛

Coaching isn’t just about teaching — it’s about doing life together.
Whether it’s learning to make an omelette or exploring job applications side by side, real growth happens in relationship.

Our residents don’t just learn to be independent — they learn to be interdependent.
Because when connection comes first, confidence follows.

♟️ Our Beacon community started up some friendly chess matches on campus, and it’s already sparking fun, focus, and a little bit of friendly competition.

We love seeing these simple moments of connection grow into traditions that everyone can share. 🖤

🍕✨ Community, connection, and creativity! Some of our off-campus residents enjoyed a Make Your Own Pizza Night—topping their pies just the way they like them and sharing a delicious meal together. Nothing beats good food and even better company. 💛

✨ We’re grateful for the opportunity to present at NATSAP (National Association for Therapeutic Schools and Programs) this week! ✨

Our very own Marshall Young, Amanda Hale, and Kelly Stamey presented on the important topic of Technology, Addiction, and Autism—a conversation that continues to spark meaningful dialogue in our field. 💡📱

Connecting with colleagues who are just as passionate about supporting young adults was inspiring, and we’re excited to bring new insights back to our work here at Beacon Transitions.

🌸 Last week our residents spent time volunteering at the Veterans Healing Farm — helping out in the garden and learning how to make beautiful flower garlands together. 🌿✨

It was such a meaningful day of giving back, connecting with nature, and practicing creativity. 💛 Moments like these remind us how powerful community and hands-on experiences can be in building confidence and independence.

🔥🍗 Nothing says summer like barbecue chicken fresh off the grill! Add in some crispy homemade sweet potato fries 🍠✨ and you’ve got the perfect recipe for good food and good vibes.

After dinner, our crew relaxed in the hangout space 🎯 playing darts, laughing, and enjoying time together. It’s these little moments of connection that make Beacon feel like home. 💙

Over the past few weeks, our kitchen has been alive with flavor, friendship, and growth. From treasured family recipes shared with pride, to the first time someone fired up the grill 🔥, we’ve watched residents step into new skills—and support each other every step of the way. 👏

What started as a class has become a community ritual—mentoring each other, teaming up to prep and plate, and gathering around the table to enjoy the fruits of our labor. 🍽️💛

These moments remind us that cooking isn’t just about the food—it’s about learning, laughter, and breaking bread together. Whether it’s a perfectly seasoned dish, a lesson in teamwork, or just a shared smile in the kitchen, we’re celebrating every win. ✨

Thank you to everyone who’s shown up, tried something new, passed on what they know, and helped build something bigger than a meal. We’re proud of what we’re cooking up—inside and out. 🍞💬

Today some of our guys braved the chill and took on the legendary Sliding Rock — a natural waterslide tucked into the Pisgah National Forest! ❄️💪 From the icy plunge to the laughs shared along the way, it was the perfect mix of courage, connection, and cold water.

At Beacon, we believe in stretching comfort zones safely — and today’s crew definitely rose to the occasion. 🛷🌲
