HEALTH TRUST GRANT: Development of a Model Pilot Training Program for Clinicians in the Young Adults in Transition (YAT) Program in Santa Clara County.
This grant funded training program, which involved collaboration between Santa Clara County Health and Hospital Systems, Department of Mental Health (SCDMH) and the Pacific Graduate School of Psychology (PGSP), was designed as a three year demonstration project to develop a systematic set of programs and interventions targeted to the Young Adult Transition System of Care. The project provided consultation, training and technical support to Santa Calar County community mental health clinicians serving this population.
Training and treatment models selected were developed to utilize best practices in cognitive-behavioral and behavioral treatment strategies and other evidence-based approaches to structuring, organizing and providing treatment services.
This pilot demonstration project targeted the specialized needs of seriously mentally ill transitional youth and young adults ages 17-25, their families and their extended community networks. This group represents an at risk population with serious and significant problems and poor treatment outcomes including incarceration, long-term foster care involvement, suicide, homelessness, substance abuse and high risk sexual behaviors. The group over-utilizes high cost services such as psychiatric emergency, residential and acute inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse services; and is underserved in terms of systematic evidence-based care designed to target their specialized needs in a culturally appropriate manner.
