Abstract
Transition-aged youth in need of services and supports find themselves in a quandary; in certain instances, they are considered children, whereas in other circumstances, they qualify as adults. Transition to Independence Process (TIP) provides a promising model for transition-aged youth programs. It is distinguished by an emphasis upon client-driven goals, as opposed to agency-defined goals. Another key feature is reliance upon collaboration among service providers in order to address the myriad of needs of young adults. From the perspective of transition-aged clients, an efficacious TIP program must offer support services, including mental health care. It must encourage natural supports, including family. All of the facets of a TIP model program should have as their ultimate focus the education and employment of transition-aged youth. Together, these contribute to the best possible outcomes for transition-aged youth.
