Alumni Panel
The Chelsea Foyer recently welcomed back four alumni of the program who graciously agreed to participate in an "alumni panel" workshop and discussion with current residents.
The four panelists shared their personal experiences with getting ready to leave the Foyer with the group - the steps they took to secure stable housing, financial stability, support systems, etc. They also talked about any challenges and/or obstacles they experienced when making the transition to independent living.
This panel was an invaluable opportunity for our residents to meet and gain valuable advice and knowledge from their peers - particularly as many of them are in the midst of preparing and planning to live on their own in the near future.
Thank you to the alumni who took the time out of their busy schedules to come and share!
