Who We Are
Transitional Resources is a licensed behavioral health center and assisted living facility located in the West Seattle neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. We have been in operation and have been serving King County since 1976.
We serve low-income adults in King County who are living with serious mental illness, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. We offer a full spectrum of optimistic and respectful mental health services and supportive housing services to our clients.
With your support, our clients prove again and again that people with mental illness can succeed in their communities.
What Makes TR Successful?
Treatment in the community is not only more humane, it is also significantly more cost effective than treating mental illness in jails, emergency rooms, or state hospitals.
We prioritize keeping the caseload size at TR significantly lower than the industry standard. This allows our case managers to serve people the most serious forms of mental illness by providing treatment that is tailored directly to their specific needs. The face-to-face, personalized care our clients receive is critical to their success. Because of this, TR produces some of the best outcomes in King County.
