Moving On
Federal Programs
to Assist Transition-Age Youth with Serious Mental Health Conditions
Myriad federal programs can address the wide range of needs of youth
with serious mental health conditions who are transitioning into adulthood.
The Bazelon Center has identified 57 programs, run by 20 or more different
agencies in nine departments of the federal government. Moving
On is
a collection of fact sheets on these programs. Each offers information
about the program’s purpose, services and funded activities,
the administering federal agency, grantee and beneficiary eligibility,
and a brief assessment of the program’s impact.
For a detailed assessment of all 57, order Moving On: Analysis
of Federal Programs Funding Services for Transition-Age Youth with
Serious Mental Health Conditions from the Bazelon
Center’s
online bookstore. The complete set of fact sheets is also available
in print

The fact sheets are grouped under 12 categories, each a PDF document.
