Community Supports for Transition
January 20, 2010
3:00 - 4:00 Eastern Time
http://www.hrtw.org/hrtwu/calls/01-20-10_Overview.html
Many Youth with Special Health Care Needs (YSHCN) are likely to require
community supports to make a successful transition to adulthood
including in-home supports and/or personal care services, employment,
transportation, and recreation supports in order to remain healthy,
active and productive. Join the Healthy & Ready to Work National
Resource Center, Champions for Inclusive Communities, and an
outstanding panel of community service experts to learn about how to
make connections and support the successful transition of YSHCN to all
aspects of community living using the myriad of community resources and
long term care waivers.
At the end of the call participants will be able to:
* Describe key elements of communities organized to support
transition
* Discuss Home and Community Based Waivers
* Identify ways HCB waivers and community supports can help young
people find and maintain employment and be involved in their communities
* Assist health care providers and families to prepare youth to
access and use supports
Target Audience: Directors and transition coordinators of state Children
and Youth with Special Health Care Needs programs, health care
providers, social workers, care coordinators, Family to Family Health
Information Centers, MCHB grantees, family and youth leaders, workforce
developers, and educators.
The call is free, but pre-registration is strongly recommended.
