Young Adult Advisory Committee Seeking Additional Members

The Nebraska Health and Human Services Healthcare Transition Project is forming a group of young adults ages 18-25 with disabilities or special health care needs to:

• Share ideas on how to improve the transition of healthcare from teens to young adults
• Participate in meetings and provide feedback on current Transition grant activities
• Have an option to serve as a peer mentor to teens and young adults attending a new grant-sponsored Transition Clinic at Monroe-Meyer Institute
• Review materials used in the Transition clinic and in physician training
• Share personal experiences and provide young adult perspective
• Meet 4-6 times a year in Omaha (all travel expenses are paid for by the project) or utilize TeleHealth.

Because time is valuable, the Nebraska Health and Human Services Healthcare Transition Project will give stipends or gift certificates to council members for attending meetings.

Those interested in joining the advisory committee should fill out an application.

For more information, contact Andrea Riley at the Nebraska Health and Human Services System at (402) 471-9621 or andrea.riley@DHHSs.ne.gov.
