Aftercare Matters Aftercare is crucial for bridging the gap between intensive treatment and independent living. Without adequate support, applying new skills can be tough. Research from the National Institute on Drug Abuse shows that effective aftercare improves long-term success and reduces relapse risk. How Key Collective Can Help At Key Collective, we believe strong aftercare is essential for sustaining recovery and personal growth, so our services are crafted to support individuals during this reintegration stage. Here's how: -Personalized Mentoring: One-on-one sessions with clinically-informed mentors reinforce treatment gains and provide guidance as clients navigate daily challenges. -Live-In Companion Care: For those needing more intensive support, our live-in companions offer continuous assistance, helping with coping strategies, daily tasks, and emotional stability. -Continued Skill Development: We focus on enhancing life skills, self-esteem, and meaningful relationships, ensuring ongoing personal growth. -Seamless Integration: We collaborate with treatment centers and mental health professionals to create a cohesive aftercare plan, integrating with existing therapies and interventions. At Key Collective, we're committed to supporting a successful transition and helping individuals thrive beyond treatment.

Welcome David to the Team! Thrilled to introduce our newest team member at Key Collective: David Wildkress, our in-house Learning Specialist! With over 20 years of experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, David brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to Key Collective. David's journey with neurodiversity began with his own diagnosis of dyslexia at the age of six in 1985. Since then, he has dedicated his career to helping others navigate the complexities of neurodiversity in various aspects of life, from education to professional settings. Having grown up with two older brothers diagnosed with Autism and ADHD as adults, David's personal experiences have deepened his understanding and empathy for individuals with diverse neurological profiles. His unique perspective, combined with a master's degree in education and a certificate in educational therapy, has equipped him with the expertise to support clients with complex needs. David is highly regarded in his field and has extensive experience supporting individuals with neuro-differences. He is the former High School Director of Bridges Academy, the groundbreaking, prestigious day school for twice exceptional students in Los Angeles. After five years of directing at Bridges, David branched out in 2022 and founded Outside the Bell Curve where he now coaches individuals with neurodivergence on an array of support needs. At Key Collective, David will play a pivotal role in tailoring mentoring programs for individuals with neurodivergence. Our hope in welcoming David to the Key team is to continue empowering our clients to understand and embrace their unique strengths through highly individualized programming and mentor pairing. Join us in welcoming David to the Key Collective family! We are excited about the positive impact he will make in the lives of those we serve.
