Description
The Healthy Transitions program aims to improve access to mental health services tailored to transition-aged youth and young adults (ages 16-25) who either have, or are at risk for developing, serious emotional disturbance (SED) or serious mental illness (SMI). The program emphasizes providing services and supports that are developmentally appropriate as well as culturally and linguistically sensitive to the needs of this population.
This grant opportunity is designed to expand and enhance the availability of these specialized services, helping young people navigate the critical transition period from adolescence to adulthood with adequate mental health support.
