Subject: Jan 20: "Community Supports for Transition" - Free conference call

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.

Continuing Education Credits awarded through the University of Kentucky, College of Nursing will be available for nurses who participate in HRTW Topical Calls. For more information, go to www.hrtw.org/hrtwu/cec.html.
