LACDMH Services for Transition Age Youth
Transition Age Youth (TAY) programs provide an array of mental health and supportive services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) and Severe and Persistently Mentally Ill (SPMI) youth ages 16-25.

These priority populations include the following:
- TAY struggling with substance abuse disorders
- TAY who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness
- TAY aging out of the children’s mental health, child welfare, or juvenile justice systems
- TAY leaving long-term institutional care
