We came up with a community plan, instilling an inter-professional team to support both the child and their family.  We want children and youth to feel supported from the second they walk in the door.

Program overview

Transition Care Program

Children’s Hospital is building a transition care program for the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Care Program. Family of Support funds are helping to increase capacity and enable efficient, effective transition care. One key priority is alleviating the stress patients can experience from missing school while admitted to hospital. Adolescents with ongoing health challenges often face difficulties when transitioning into the adult healthcare system. Funds support the development of a transition care program specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of mental health patients.

How Family of Support Funding Has Helped

Funds provided by Family of Support have helped to:

  • Increase capacity for transition care
  • Support three new hires focused on mental health.
