Mission Statement
FLOW Virginia aims to assist marginalized youth and young adults successfully acquire skills throughout life transitions with an emphasis on improving quality of life.
About This Cause
FLOW Virginia was founded by Shareka Eldridge, a licensed professional counselor, who specializes in working with adolescents and young adults seeking support for behavioral health issues and trauma. She, along with her counselor colleagues, discovered that many of the youth who sought treatment for clinical disorders were actually experiencing distress due to a lack of skills/preparation for life transitions (such as applying for college, how to navigate next steps for enrolling in college, how to get health insurance, how to get an apartment). FLOW VA was thus founded to address this unmet need by youth and young adults. FLOW Virginia’s signature programs were designed to support youth in two distinct areas of life’s transitional development: Life Fundamentals in which students are taught essential life skills such as how to open a bank account, how to manage a household, and how to find the right healthcare providers; and Peer Support in which students get guided support in processing daily life issues such as problem solving, emotional regulation, and interpersonal relationships.
