COMMUNITY PARTNERS TRAVELING with you

TO SUPPORT YOUTH AGES 14-22 ON
THEIR JOURNEY TOWARDS ADULTHOOD

WHAT IS transition?

Transition is the process of planning for life after school.

Your student’s journey may not be like others and may go in a different direction.

That’s OK!

Mercer County Quest partners understand this and are here to help guide your student towards a successful future.

DISCOVERING YOUR PATH TO ADULTHOOD MEANS PLANNING FOR:

Taking charge of your life
Where to live
Future work
Further education & training
Building healthy relationships
Your rights and responsibilities
Managing money
Having fun!

WHERE DO I start?

ALWAYS start with your school district. Contact your student’s Intervention Specialist and Special Education Supervisor at:

Your school district can lead you to others who can help.

WHO ELSE CAN help?

I wish I had become more involved with these types of programs much earlier in Michael's life. Fortunately people such as yourselves made the process much easier.

When our now 19 year old daughter, Taylor, was diagnosed - we weren't left with much hope from the doctor. It was quite terrifying. She is now a thriving young adult with great potential. We are very fortunate that we live in a county with so many programs devoted to our kids! We know she would not be where she is today without these programs!
