Transitional Services, Inc. (TSI) embraces a person-centered approach to service delivery. Using the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Approach and Everyday Lives Philosophy, staff assists individuals with the identification of personal strengths, skill building and empowerment. The goal of these efforts is to enable the individual to achieve role recovery--that is, defining and resuming life on their terms. The development of natural supports is also an important focus.

Innovative Human Services

TSI is an innovative human services organization transitioning people with mental disabilities (psychiatric and intellectual) into the community.

Since its incorporation in 1969, TSI has offered eligible adults the housing and supports services necessary to live successfully in the community. TSI serves more than 400 individuals each year throughout Allegheny County.
