Transition Support for Young Adults in Lincolnshire
Turning 18 brings big changes, from new services to new freedoms. We support young adults and their families through the move into adult life, building the skills, confidence and connections needed for a more independent future.
Support from age 18

What Is Transition Support?
Transition is the move from children's services to adult services, often at the same time as leaving school, starting college or thinking about work and a first home. It can feel like a lot for young people and families to manage at once.
Our transition support helps young adults prepare for and settle into adult life. We work alongside families, schools, colleges and adult social care so support continues smoothly, with the young person's own goals at the centre.
