Bridging the Gap: From Child to Adult Health Systems with a Focus on Mental Health

Join us for a free presentation and conversation to help guide families through the transition from child centered to adult mental health systems. Youth and families are often overwhelmed and underprepared for the transition to adult health care, especially in the area of mental health. This presentation will introduce, and discuss when to start thinking about transition as well as provide
helpful tools and resources. This training is available for families as well as educators and other professionals.

DATES & TIMES: Thursday, October 28, 6-7 PM
LOCATION: Zoom video/phone conferencing

As a result of participating in this presentation we hope you will:
• Understand what youth health care transition is and why it is important.
• Identify activities in daily life where transition occurs.
• Apply tools and resources to take an active role in the health care transition process.
• Start a health transition action plan.
