OREM, UT March 2021 – Telos is excited to announce that Kylee Shields, LCSW has accepted the position of Life Skills Director. This pivotal role is located on the Geneva Campus for students 17.5 years of age and older. Students in this age group regularly need support moving toward independent living. The Life Skills team is always ready to assist. Life Skills mentors guide students in life choices, grooming, interactions, roommate etiquette and a host of other skills. Having students learn these skills, as early as possible, is key to long term success. 

“What an incredible influence Kylee has been the 4 years while at Telos. She has been with us since opening Geneva Campus and I have full confidence in Kylee and believe she is ideally suited for this key role at Telos. I believe our students are the ultimate winners because of Kylee and the Life Skills team.” remarked Tony Mosier, COO  

To provide a strong learning foundation, Life Skills mentors use an Executive Function platform. This includes teaching Time Management, Organization, Initiation and Completion, Flexibility and Shifting and among others.

Students who master these and other skills of independent living find themselves enjoying a new level of empowerment for the many bumps associated with independent living.
