Transitional Care
Our providers work closely with the Self-management and Transition to Adulthood with Rx=treatment (STARx) Program, which was developed in 2006 to and improve self-management skills and disease knowledge among adolescents and young adults with chronic health conditions. Program details as well as assessment tools and the TRxANSITION Index (provider verified) can be found https://www.med.unc.edu/transition/

Adolescent Mental Health Parenting Program for Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement (AMP-CARE)
This is a 6-session, group positive parenting intervention designed to strengthen parent-adolescent relationships and educate parents about normal adolescent development and behavior and early recognition of mental health concerns in adolescents. This manualized skill-based program is delivered in the primary care setting by two licensed clinical social workers during 6 weekly 90-minute sessions to groups of 6-10 parents of adolescents, aged 11-14 years old.
