In Fall 2009, the National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability for Youth (NCWD/Youth) released a policy brief entitled “Supporting Transition to Adulthood Among Youth with Mental Health Needs: Action Steps for Policymakers.” This policy brief provides specific recommendations to aid policymakers across youth-serving systems to better serve youth with mental health needs.
NCWD/Youth has published four major reports released in the last few years focusing on transition-age youth with mental health needs.
This policy brief calls attention to the challenges faced by youth and young adults with mental health needs during their transition to adulthood and provides information to help policymakers at the state and local level develop and improve service delivery systems for this population.
