Program overview
Adolescents with ongoing health challenges can face difficulties as they transition into the adult healthcare system. Various factors can make communication and collaboration difficult at the intersection of pediatric and adult services, including separate funding and governance structures. As part of its wider efforts to help adolescents navigate toward adult care, Children’s Hospital is advancing a transition initiative focused specifically on patients in the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Care Program.
Transition Care Program
Children’s Hospital is building a new 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.
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.
