Why Everyone Should Be Talking About Healthcare Transition
ACTIVE
Healthcare Transition (HCT) is the process of moving from pediatric to adult healthcare. It is a critical time for youth and families and they are largely doing it alone. With the increasing difficulty of navigating the healthcare system, a comprehensive transition plan is the first step towards ensuring young people have the best health outcomes possible.
Objectives:
- Learn about the components of HCT
- How to support young adult clients through the process
- Connect with resources from the National Healthcare Transition Center
