The mission of Safe Transitions is to make a positive difference in the lives of people with mental illness. We strive for our mission by creating professional relationships between our trained caregivers and our clients to assist them in recovery and in reaching their greatest potential. Safe Transitions was formed in 1996 by Peggy Vincent and Julie Bogenholm. Peggy was invited by Carlton County to pilot an innovative concept of 24 hour staffing for adults with mental illness in adult foster care in the community. Over the years we have endured many changes, including the loss of Peggy to cancer in 2005. Her legacy lives on in the program mission which is to make a positive difference for people with mental illness. This was her passion. We now consist of 12 adult foster care homes throughout MN, specializing in services for mental health. We also have two community programs to assist clients in the community (ILS and ARMHS). We recently started a home care division, Visionary Home Care, providing private duty home care services.
