The Transition Year Project 

The transition from high school to college is a critical juncture for all teenagers.

For the majority, college represents a new stage of independence, exploration, growth and opportunity. For students who are dealing with pre-existing or newly-emerging mental health problems, it can be a difficult and dangerous time.

The Jed Foundation and the American Psychiatric Foundation are launching a new initiative to help ensure the smooth, safe and healthy transition of teenagers from high school to college, laying the groundwork for healthy and productive college years and beyond.

The results of an extensive literature review and a comprehensive survey of parents with college-age children are being used in the development of guides for both parents and students that will help with the adjustment to the stresses and challenges of college life, while also providing critical information on identifying, addressing and managing the treatment of emotional problems.

Transition Year has launched!  Take a look at the new Transition Year website.
