Transition Intervention

Each adolescent-parent pair will be invited to complete 5 components of the intervention (peer support session, parent education session, transition meeting with healthcare providers, family doctor contact, and reading a transition navigation guide) over a 3-month period. These intervention components were designed with the intention of making the transition process transparent for the duo, preparing the adolescent to take responsibility of their own health as it relates to their disorder, and helping the parent step back from the process to help the adolescent integrate to adult care better.
