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.
