As Director of the Transitions to Adulthood Center for Research, I speak for the Center in agreeing with the principle that Martin Luther King Jr. so powerfully stated “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
Partner with youth & young adults to conduct research & share our findings. We recognize the importance of implementing Participatory Action research to support the employment & education efforts of youth & young adults.
Examine ways that interventions can better address the unique needs of youth & young adults. Effective developmentally appropriate & appealing services are rare.
Improve outcomes by effectively disseminating knowledge to key stakeholders. Many of our tip sheets were developed & reviewed with input from young adults with serious mental health conditions.
Support youth & young adults as students, learners, and workers. Youth and young adults with serious mental health conditions face obstacles in learning & working.
Our mission is to promote the full participation in socially valued roles of transition-age youth and young adults (ages 14-30) with serious mental health conditions. We use the tools of research and knowledge translation in partnership with this at risk population to achieve this mission.
