The Transitional Youth Program (TYP) supports and empowers young people aged 16-29 experiencing barriers to accessing services in the mental health sector. For up to three months, clients will receive continued therapeutic support and system navigation to ensure sustainable connections with appropriate mental health and substance use agencies in the community.
We know young people struggle to transition between mental health services as they shift from childhood into adulthood. Up to 60% of young people stop accessing care during this period. Young people do best when they receive the right supports during this time.
Our clinician navigators and peer support workers provide flexible, timely, in-person support, whether our clients prefer to meet in the community or at our offices.
We only accept internal referrals from MGH clinicians. Referrals can be made for young people between 16-29 years of age who are:
The TYP is not a crisis service or a long-term counselling service.
Please contact your MGH clinician with any questions regarding referral.
If you are in need of immediate help, please go to your nearest emergency department or call 911.
