As youth with mental health challenges grow older, families often have lots of questions about the transition from youth to adult mental healthcare services. It can feel overwhelming, with many wondering what to expect. In this episode—the first of a two-part series—we are joined by Emma (Scotiabank Youth Transitions Program), Abby (who has navigated this transition as a youth), and Steph (Registered Psychiatric Nurse at BC Children’s Hospital) to explore:
- what this transition involves and how to start preparing for it
- common challenges and myths
- strategies and resources to support families during this period
