Key Collective: Is It Time for Additional Support?

When school ends and routines fade, even the most resilient young people can start to flounder. For families already navigating mental health challenges, neurodivergence, substance use, or social-emotional delays, the lack of structure over summer can magnify stress, increase isolation, and make progress harder to maintain.

At Key Collective, we specialize in bridging these moments. Our in-home mentors and companions offer one-on-one support tailored to each client’s needs—with a strong emphasis on skill-building, emotional regulation, social engagement, and real-world application. Whether your teen is struggling to get out of bed, feeling stuck in their room, avoiding social activities, or overwhelmed by unstructured time, this might be the moment to bring in extra support.

Here are a few signs it may be time:

• Regressions in emotional regulation or daily functioning
• School refusal issues that persist into summer
• A recent return home from treatment without structured aftercare
• Parents feeling exhausted, isolated, or unsure how to help
• Difficulty initiating tasks, maintaining a routine, or engaging with peers

Our mentors are clinically informed and trained, and many bring lived experience to the table, making them uniquely positioned to support real transformation. They’re not therapists—but they are an essential part of a well-rounded support team, meeting clients where they are and walking with them as they build confidence, skills, and independence.

Whether you’re a parent or a clinician, now may be the right time to explore what additional, hands-on support could look like.
