Becoming an Adult: Challenges for Those with Mental Health Conditions
What is unique about the transition to adulthood for transition age youth and young adults with mental health conditions? Why do we need more research to develop successful age-appropriate interventions for this population? Maryann Davis, an internationally recognized expert on services for transition age youth and young adults with serious mental health conditions and Director of the Transitions RTC, answers these questions and more in this two-part webinar.
This webinar was originally broadcast on May 25, 2010 as part of an overall introduction to the Transitions RTC. It has been split into two 30-minute sections, but we encourage you to watch both sections.
