<p>Some young people need ongoing support into young adulthood, after they leave children
and young people’s mental health services. This point of transition is an important
stage for young people, and it is not always easy.</p><p> </p><p>That is why, in January
2015, NHS England published a Model Specification for Transitions from Child and Adolescent
Mental Health Services, to support better transition planning and delivery by local
providers. Transition from children and young people’s mental health services has
also been included as one of 13 mandatory national indicators in the Commissioning
for Quality and Innovation scheme, 2017/19, which offers financial incentives to local
areas to encourage improved transition planning for children and young people.</p><p>
</p><p>To address issues of transition, some areas have already adopted a mental health
service which supports young people from ages 0-25.</p>
