Mental Health, Ontario, Canada  

         

Positive intervention at the transition stage between child/adolescent
mental health services and adult mental health services is one of the
most important ways to facilitate recovery. 

However, all too often in most countries, there is an absence of an
integrated, coordinated system of care between child and youth services
and adult-serving mental health agencies. This lack of integration
jeopardizes the life chances of transition-age youth, aged 16-25 years,
who need support during the difficult transition to adult roles and
responsibilities. 

Simon Davidson shares years of study and experience in developing
effective transition services. He discusses transitional models,
explains why mental health transition interventions need to be tailored
to fit the needs and strengths of the individual and offers tips for
success. Register at https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/642452002.
