UAB Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation postdoctoral fellow, Jordan Kennon, PsyD,  discussed mental health at the Transitioning to Adulthood with a Disability event.

The STEP program (Staging Transition for Every Patient) is committed to assisting with this process through providing primary care services, identifying adult specialists when necessary, communicating with other areas of your care team, and finding additional services for your unique needs.

On May 7, our STEP program hosted a Transitioning to Adulthood with a Disability event in partnership with United Ability. 

"The transition period into adulthood is a time when people with disabilities and their caregivers experience new challenges. Hopefully, this presentation made people more aware of the mental health resources available as well as important referral reasons during this phase of life transition", says Kennon.
