Transition to Independence Process Model Training

Event Details

Date: August 13–19, 2025
Time: 9:00am to 4:00pm

This is a comprehensive training on The 
TIP Model, a strength-based, youth-driven framework that was developed for working with youth and young adults (14-29 years old) with emotional/behavioral difficulties (EBD) to:
● Engage youth and young adults in their own futures planning process.
● Provide youth with developmentally appropriate, non-stigmatizing, culturally competent, and appealing services and supports.
● Involve youth and their families and other informal key players in a process that prepares and facilitates them in their movement toward greater self-sufficiency and successful achievement of their goals related to their relevant transition domains.
This training will provide research-based fidelity standards for the implementation and sustainability of the TIP Model at the practice, program, and system levels to improve the outcomes of youth and young adults with emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and/or mental health challenges.
If you are interested in attending the training or sending a team to be trained, please contact Leslie Pitts at pittsl2@michigan.gov.
