The Regional Intervention Program (RIP) is a parent-implemented, professionally-supported program for young children and their families who are experiencing challenging behaviors. RIP has been serving families with young children since 1969. This unique, internationally-recognized program guides parents in learning the skills to work directly with their own children while they receive training and support from experienced RIP families.

Got Transition and its National Family Advisory Group, with extensive input from a Family Voices workgroup of Spanish-speaking parent leaders, have developed a toolkit for families to use to guide their youth’s transition from pediatric to adult health care. The Family Toolkit includes easy-to-use resources in Spanish for youth and families to help youth assume more independence in taking care of their own health and using health services. Materials include a transition timeline, questions to ask your doctor, what turning 18 means for one’s health, and more! Got Transition and Family Voices will host a webinar in Spanish, with simultaneous English interpretation, on March 29^th at 4pm ET/AST to discuss the toolkit.
