Research is in its Infancy
• Little Research in this age with Serious Mental Health Conditions
• Extension of knowledge from others…… other ages with SMHC or same age with other challenges
• Field is growing

Transition Age Youth Quickly Lost from Treatment

Does the Evidence Base Apply?
• Clinical trials often include emerging adults – good enough? Power to detect age differences Analyzing/reporting age differences
• Clinical trials focused on emerging adults Apply as is Adapt for this age group

Treatment Retention
• Motivational Interviewing (MI)-Based Strategies increases TR in adults and adolescents (e.g. Vasilaki, Hosier, & Cox, 2006; Feldstein & Ginsburg, 2007)
• Adolescents organized by parents • Adults’ mature executive functioning and
responsibility taking • Testing minor adaptation for 17-30 yr olds (Mistler,
Sheidow, Fortuna, Davis)

Employment Supports
• Individualized Placement & Support (IPS; Bond, 1998) Effective with EA’s in 1st Episode Psychosis (Major, et al., 2010;
Porteous & Waghorn, 2007; Killackey, Jackson, & McGorry, 2008) Adapted IPS (Nuechterlein et al., 2008) – effective 1st Episode
Psychosis – added training, families, supported education Adapted IPS (Froundfelker & Fagan) – young adult intensive MH

Models under Development Achieve My Plan (Walker & Powers)
To increase participation in meetings 3 meetings with a “prep person” before initial
meeting 1 prep meeting include support person of choice Youth communicates AMP process to family Prep person communicates with team in preparation
and orientation Training for staff (i.e. school, program etc.)

Common Themes
• Youth Voice; all developing models put youth front and center, and provide tools to support that position
• Involvement of Peers supports; several interventions try to build on the strength of peer influence
• Struggle to balance youth/family; delicate dance with families, no clear guidelines
• Technology; utilizing web-based games, texting to engage or schedule, remote therapy
• Emphasize in-betweeness; simultaneous working & schooling, living w family & striving for independence, finishing schooling & parenting etc.
