About This Webinar

Teen years are a critical time to prepare for life beyond high school while still providing the guidance and support youth need. This process is often complicated for military families who are experiencing frequent relocation, changing services, and evolving family roles. This session will equip military families and professionals with practical tools and strategies to support youth as they prepare for post-school life. Topics will address employment, post-secondary education, independent living, and military specific considerations. Professionals will gain tools to help youth launch with confidence—ready for both independence and the realities of a mobile lifestyle.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the key components of effective transition planning and the transition plan.
Describe strategies to support youth to prepare for post-school employment, post-secondary education, and independent living.
Identify supports and services available to enable military families and professionals to navigate the transition process.
