Fostering transitions to valued roles for youth: A training program

摘要

In 2008 and 2009, the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (DMH) funded MassPRA, the Massachusetts Chapter of the US Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association (USPRA) to deliver a training course, titled "Psychiatric Rehabilitation: Fostering Transitions to Valued Roles for Youth." Designed to provide knowledge and skills to practitioners currently providing DMH-funded services for transition age youth, the curriculum for the training applied a recovery-oriented and strengths-based philosophy to help young people with emotional and behavioral difficulties make a successful transition to independence in their preferred living, learning, working, and social roles.
