This is a guidebook resource to assist youth and young adults that may be experiencing behavioral health issues in the transition to adulthood. This guide was published by Rhode Island BHDDH and is focused on helping individuals aged 14-25. It can help with challenges including moving from pediatric to adult providers; moving from one insurance coverage to another; moving from home to an apartment or college; transitioning from being a student to joining the workforce; or moving from a system overseen by DCYF or the schools to one overseen by BHDDH. 

There are lots of resources to help during this transition. The Guidebook provides a roadmap for your transition, helping you locate and use available resources that will enable you to become a successful adult. It is available in English and Spanish.
