Transition to Adulthood during COVID-19: Learning from Canadian Youth with Special Healthcare Needs and their Families to Foster Effective Transitional Care Interventions

In this patient-oriented research project, young adults, parents, and researchers have partnered to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on youth with special healthcare needs aged 16-24 years, during their transition to adult service. When we talk about special healthcare needs, we mean needs related to developmental, physical, or mental health conditions.

Add your voice to the conversation on February 8,2024

The Virtual Town Hall Meeting will be an opportunity to:

• Review what we have learned in the first part of the project about experiences, suggested solutions, and priorities, through interviews and surveys with youth and families.
• Continue the conversation with youth and families about recommendations and priorities to improve healthcare transition for Canadian youth with special healthcare needs.
• Prioritize actions and strategic recommendations.
