Healthy Transitions Program

Empowering youth aged 15-21 in their journey toward adulthood. 

What to Expect

You will meet with a case manager to complete required assessments, discuss your needs, and establish initial goals.

If you are new to Metrocare, you will complete an evaluation to address medical needs as a component of the recovery plan.

Metrocare provides services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay. We do accept Medicaid, CHIP, private insurance, and self-pay. For those uninsured, services may be available free of charge following the completion of a financial assessment. We request you bring copies of any insurance information. Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time to meet with a business office representative. 

Who We Are

We are a team that is overwhelmingly passionate for the transitional age youth population, the support of mental wellbeing, and wish to enact the change that the Dallas area community is in desperate need of. We recognize that our youth are the future, and that they are currently gravely under supported in this crucial transitional phase of their lives. Our youth deserves better. In addition to empowering youth in their journey towards adulthood, the program has the overarching goal of creating an accessible network of all supportive services – inside and outside of Metrocare, mental health and otherwise – fostering an environment where our youth can flourish into adulthood.

What’s Next

Once we have received your information, a member of our clinical team will reach out to speak to you about the program in greater detail – typically within two business days. If you choose to enroll, you will then be connected to your care team which consists of the following:

Your case manager is here to support you throughout your time in the program. Your case manager will work with you regularly and consistently to guide you through every step of the journey to adulthood. Case managers are field-based and happy to meet with you where you are, or even virtually, to eliminate barriers to care.
