Supporting Youth & Young Adults: Supporting the Transition from Adolescence to Adulthood-MHP-Delaware County, 7200 Chestnut Street, Upper Darby, PA - October 26-27, 2017 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Young people who are leaving the children's mental health or other child serving systems frequently undersupported as they navigate a new
world of service delivery. Providing peer supports for this population requires a generational lens as well as an understanding of the
intersections that define systems of care. This course is designed to help you provide youth centric peer support that keeps the young
person at the center of their transitional pathway as envisioned by the young person themselves. This course is informed by the Core
Statements of the Child and Adolescent Service System Program (CASSP) and trauma theory, and includes consideration of developmental stages,
brain development, strategies for increasing young people's participation in decision-making and advocacy, and understanding of change and
transition processes.
