Event Date
It is important for primary care and behavioral health professionals to be aware of the unique needs of transition aged-youth and how to best serve and support them due to their danger of falling through the gaps when aging out of services. This CoP will provide resources and approaches that can be used within community health center settings to build a network of primary and behavioral health care services and recovery supports for young adults that are transitioning out of child-serving systems and/or into adult-serving systems.
