Funding Context
The transition from adolescence to adulthood is a major developmental challenge for everyone. Research indicates that young people with long term health conditions experience major disruption as they mature to adulthood.
“assist young people with long term health conditions including physical, mental and intellectual disabilities.”
Along with the physical challenges they encounter, young people with long term health conditions are more likely than other young people to suffer from low self-esteem, have gaps in their education, employment and relationship experiences, have fewer protective factors and greater risk behaviours.
