This one-hour webinar will discuss ways that young adults experiencing ESMI may be supported as they shift from child to adult mental health services. Participants will learn about structural and procedural changes that occur as young adults shift out of ESMI services and move from child to adult service systems. The webinar will also identify promising strategies to reduce service gaps, including using early planning, assessment tools, cross-system coordination, and personalized step-down programs. Two grantees will present approaches to improve continuity of care, minimize disengagement, and enhance service availability for young adults experiencing ESMI.
