Description of Services:
AOI has an extensive database of organizations, programs, research, online tools, and other resources throughout the country that are focused on helping youth age out of foster care successfully.

Young people age out of foster care when they have reached the maximum age the state will support them in the foster system. In some states, aging out occurs at 18, while in others it is 21. This happens when states have failed to reunite the youth with their families or to place them in permanent adoptive homes.

Description of Services:

Casey Family Programs is the nation’s largest operating foundation focused on safely reducing the need for foster care in the United States. Our mission is to provide and improve — and ultimately prevent the need for — foster care.

We are committed to Building Communities of Hope, a nationwide effort to prevent the need for foster care by supporting families in raising safe, happy and healthy children. We work with a wide range of partners, including the children and families we serve each day, to:

  • Safely reduce the need for foster care in the United States by 50 percent. We work in support of our partners at the federal, tribal, state and local levels to develop policies and practices that best meet the needs of families and their children. The result of this work reduces child abuse and neglect, increases safety and stability, and improves well-being and life outcomes.
  • Demonstrate how every child can have a safe, supportive and permanent family. We work with children and families to provide and improve foster care and prevention services that promote their safety and well-being. From this work we demonstrate approaches that improve safety, address trauma, support healing, strengthen bonds and promote progress in education, employment and mental health. We share what we learn from this work with our partners to support improvements in policy and practice across the United States.
  • Support more effective public investments in strengthening families to keep children safely in their own homes and communities. We contribute nonpartisan information, data and resources to policymakers at all levels of government to improve the impact and equity of our nation’s investment in communities for supporting child and family safety and well-being.
  •  Promote a shared responsibility for ensuring the well-being of every child and family across the nation. We encourage leaders from all five sectors of a community – government, business, nonprofit and faith-based, philanthropic and the community members themselves – to think, plan and act in collaboration to improve the long-term safety, well-being and hope of children and their families. We call this Building Communities of Hope.

Description of Services:
Kickstart is a diverse clinical team specially trained to educate the community, treat youth and assist families in preventing psychosis. We serve young people ages 10 to 25, their families, and their social networks to build support around the youth and promote success in relationships, education, and employment. Kickstart is a Prevention and Early Intervention program funded through San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency and the Mental Health Services Act. Kickstart is a recovery-oriented program that strives to keep hope alive through education and early intervention.

The Kickstart team consists of mental health professionals trained to assess and treat youth experiencing early warning signs of psychosis.

Our team will:
• Educate community members who will help identify young people who are showing early warning signs of psychosis
• Conduct confidential assessments specifically designed to identify risk for actual psychosis
• Provide individualized treatment for participants and their families

Collaborating with the Community
Research has shown that educating the public and community leaders will significantly increase the chances that a young person will receive early treatment that can reverse the negative effects of psychosis. Kickstart actively outreaches to the communities of San Diego to help reduce misunderstandings about serious mental illness and provide information about early identification and treatment. Community members who are most likely to help identify these youth include staff at secondary schools, colleges, nurses, physicians, military leaders, spiritual leaders, police, mental health professionals, and community centers.

Who We Serve:
Kickstart provides confidential assessment and early assistance for young people between the ages of 10 and 25 who are at risk for mental illness in San Diego County.

Successful Transitions Resource Center (San Diego Center for Children)

Details

Launched in 2018 after a one-year successful pilot, the Successful Transitions© Program at the San Diego Center for Children was developed to help guide at-risk transition-age youth in creating a personalized plan for the future while building the skills and community connections they need to achieve their goals and well-being.

Description of Services:

Launched in 2018 after a one-year successful pilot, the Successful Transitions© Program at the San Diego Center for Children was developed to help guide at-risk transition-age youth in creating a personalized plan for the future while building the skills and community connections they need to achieve their goals and well-being. When transition-age youth struggle with behavioral health challenges, learning differences, development disabilities, and/or history of trauma and/or abuse, becoming an adult can feel especially overwhelming. These youth are highly susceptible to school dropout, unemployment, and homelessness. Mental health challenges impact their ability to manage emotions, communicate with others, cope with stressors, plan ahead, and follow through—all needed for success in adult life. And for foster youth, these challenges are further compounded by the lack of safety and support a family provides.

Our collective-impact approach brings together providers, agencies, and nonprofits to adopt this new methodology as a common framework to produce meaningful, systemic change in how at-risk youth receive the guidance and support they need to become successful members of our community.

Involvement in Successful Transitions includes three key components:
1. A comprehensive assessment of transition needs involving the youth and parent/caretaker
2. The development of an Individualized Transition Plan
3. Assistance and coaching in implementing the plan

Our online Resource Center below provides a searchable database of programs serving transition-aged youth during their transition process.

Additional Information:

Youth in all of our programs have access to this service and it is also offered to the public through our Family Wellness Center. Please visit our Family Wellness Center page for contact information.

Additionally, we also have available an online Resource Center below, which is a searchable database of other organizations in the region who support transition-age youth.
