Youth-in-Transition

In 2009, Vermont received a 6-year grant from SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) to improve the system of care for transition-aged youth and young adults 16 through 21 at risk of being out-of-school and/or incarcerated. Each service area was asked to create a plan to address the most compelling issues facing the target population in the region.

As part of the Chittenden County Youth-in-Transition plan, VFN provides a Family Resource Consultant to help families of young adults with mental health concerns navigate the system of care. Please call 1-800-800-4005 for more information.

Impact VT is a tool to help you connect with resources in the community. It’s a one-stop site for finding new resources and what other young adults are saying about them. You can sort by categories –  housing, education, and even social – read interviews done by other young adults, find them on a map, and even get directions from where you are!
