Project Description:

This project increases the capacity of DPHHS Children's Special Health Services to support children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) to transition successfully into adulthood. Activities include developing and providing six webinar trainings on topics related to the transition needs of CYSHCN; expanding the Montana Transition Listserv to include CYSHCN partners (hospitals, specialty and regional clinics); disseminating health care transition-related information via the Montana Transition Listserv, the Transition and Employment Projects website, and other websites; and, developing and disseminating a health care coverage guide for families and youth. The youth, families and providers who participate in this project serve a dual role as the Rural Institute Consumer Advisory Council, as mandated by the DD Act of 2000.
