Synopsis: Young adults with mental health needs face substantial challenges as they transition to adulthood. As children turn 18, educational entitlements, health-care coverage, and parental partnership in mental health care all change. This session presents the perspectives of 73 parents and transition-aged youth who participated in focus groups across the state of Maryland. Participants shared their experiences, aspirations and supports that will help them successfully transition to adulthood.
