Strength Of Us
This web sitewas developed by young adults and launched by NAMI. It is a user-driven social networking community where members can connect with peers, share personal stories, creativity and helpful resources by writing and responding to blog entries, engaging in discussion groups and sharing videos, photos and other news. The site is intended not just for young adults who have a mental illness, but for anyone entering adulthood that has a friend, parent or other family member facing a mental health problem.

National Network on Youth Transition
The Mission of the NNYT Network is to improve practices, systems, and outcomes for transition-age youth and young adults (14-29 years of age) with emotional and/or behavioral difficulties.

Healthy Transitions Initiative
The National Technical Assistance Center for Children's Mental Health has been funded by The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services, to support the work of the grant communities involved with the Healthy Transitions Initiative. The Healthy Transitions Initiative is a cross-agency initiative aimed at addressing issues that youth and young adults encounter as they transition to adulthood. This initiative will create developmentally appropriate and effective youth guided local systems of care to improve outcomes in the areas of education, employment, housing, mental health and co-occurring disorders and decrease contacts with the juvenile and criminal justice systems.
