For Families, to transition to success

The structure stays.
The grip lets go.

Trellis helps Members and their Families build an independence plan around how the Member's mind actually works — then quietly helps them keep it, so the call home can go back to being about life instead of a status check.

The problem

A missed appointment starts to look like not trying hard enough.

Executive function differences are easy to mistake for carelessness. When the only visibility a Family has is a phone call, worry turns into surveillance — and a Member who's already working hard stops wanting to pick up.

Without Trellis
"Did you forget again?"
"Why didn't you just put it in your calendar?"
"I don't get why this is so hard for you."
"I'm just asking because I care."
With Trellis
"How was the game on Saturday?"
"Trellis flagged the appointment — sounds like it's handled."
"Tell me about the new roommate."
"Proud of you."
How it works

One agreement, built around how the Member's mind works.

Trellis facilitates the conversation before the transition, then works alongside the Member to help the agreement hold — with structure that supports, not a system that polices.

01

Set the agreement

Before the move — to college, to a first apartment — a Trellis Manager facilitates a conversation between Family and Member and turns vague expectations into something concrete and specific.

02

Watch for the signals

With permission, Trellis can connect to systems — calendars, bank accounts — to catch what's easy to lose track of, so nothing depends on remembering to remember.

03

Monthly check-in

A Trellis Manager checks in with the Member every month and sends a plain-language status report to both sides of the agreement.

04

Handle exceptions with care

If something looks off, Trellis reaches out to the Member first, assuming there's a reason before assuming there's a problem — and only loops in the Family if the conversation calls for it.

Two seats, one team

Take your seat back in the stands.

For years, you've been the external executive function — the reminders, the systems, the double-checking. Trellis takes over the logistics, not the relationship, so Families can stop managing and Members get real room to run their own life.

For Families

You've spent years holding the whole schedule in your head. Trellis takes the logistics, not the relationship.

  • See the agreement you both signed off on — not a surveillance feed
  • Get a monthly status report instead of asking for one
  • Get looped in only when it actually matters

For Members

A Trellis Manager works with how your brain actually works, not against it — helping you keep the promises you made to yourself, without a Family looking over your shoulder to check.

  • One trusted point of contact, not a Family group chat
  • Systems built for how you think, not another planner nobody opens
  • Support before things become a crisis, not after
Your point of contact

A Trellis Manager who understands how your Member's mind works.

One person, not a dashboard, is accountable for the relationship on both sides — a trusted advisor to the Member and to the Family who understands how the Member's mind works, not just a scheduler who tracks it.

The expert network

When it's bigger than a check-in, help is already lined up.

Trellis maintains a vetted network of professionals who understand how these minds work, ready to step in for the Family and the Member when the moment calls for more than a conversation.

Medical doctors

For the appointment that's easy to lose track of when the whole day already feels effortful.

Executive function coaches

For building systems that actually stick, not just another planner nobody opens.

Tutors

For finding a different way into the material, not more willpower.

Financial planners

For turning spending patterns into a budget that works with your brain, not against it.
