Transition to Adulthood
The Transition Period is a critical time in the lives of the many youth served by community and state agencies. The discussions and planning that occur during transition will influence the success or failure of young people to move into adulthood. Planning discussions for any one individual may be extensive and range across many topics. These discussions serve to connect the youth's education and service experiences with anticipated adult services and supports.
