Supporting the transition from inpatient hospitalization to school

Catharine L Weiss et al. Child Adolesc Psychiatr Clin N Am. 2015 Apr.

Abstract

The School Transition Program (STP) is a 3-month intervention developed to address the unique needs of youth transitioning back to school from an inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. The STP focuses on promoting communication across school, home, and hospital. It includes psychoeducation, emotional support for caregivers, and the creation of transition plans in collaboration with school staff and families. Matching interventions to the academic, social, emotional/behavioral needs of these youth and increasing support to their caregivers has the potential to ease stress, reduce challenges and promote success during and after the transition period.
