Resources for Youths and Families for ICAAP’s Transitioning Youth to Adult Care Course
Below are a number of resources and tools to help youth and families in the transition from pediatric to adult health care. The project-developed tools were created by pediatricians in practice, transition experts, youth, and parents and the remaining resources are nationally validated tools and resources from partner organizations.
The development of these resources is supported by a state implementation grant from the Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, Maternal and Child Health Bureau.
The resources below were developed by ICAAP and Specialized Care for Children at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
