Youth in Transition
Youth in transition
The transition from adolescence to adulthood is a big time in a child's life. What comes after school? How do you plan for adult life? As a parent or family member, it's also a big time for you! Some supports and services stop when a child turns 18, and others have new names and new rules. Learn to navigate these changes as you identify what a good life looks like for your child - and how to access the resources that will make it possible.
Help your child imagine and plan for a meaningful adult life by exploring their goals, dreams and what matters most to them. Together, you can build a vision for their best life and identify the resources to make it possible.
