Health and wellbeing for young people with SEND

This guide is for young people with SEND. It contains information to help you prepare for the transition into adult health, care and well-being services and support.

Moving from children’s health services into adult health services is a process that starts when you are around 13-14 years old and finishes by the time you are 18.

Caring for your health into adulthood is about knowing how best to look after yourself and how to prepare for any changes in the health, care, and well-being services you currently receive.
