While transition into adulthood is an exciting stage of your life, it can also be one of many unique challenges for you and your family, and this may be particularly difficult if you have behavioral health challenges. Challenges can include moving from a system overseen by DCYF or the schools to one overseen by BHDDH; moving from pediatric to adult providers; moving from one insurance coverage to another; moving from home to college; and going from being a student to joining the workforce.

Some people who have helped you manage your behavioral health challenges in the past may no longer be available. You may have to switch healthcare providers and obtain new insurance. We encourage you to turn to your parents, guardians, or other trusted adults for advice and consider their input as you make important life decisions.

Luckily, there are lots of resources to help you during transition. This Guidebook provides a roadmap for your transition, helping you locate and use available resources that will enable you to become a successful adult.
