Heels 2 Participation
Our research team is also working on a virtual toolkit of e-learning modules which will cover key skill areas involved in the transition to adulthood, including life skills, goal planning, mental health, community safety, sexual health, and career exploration.
By 2027, the virtual toolkit will be available at no cost for families, schools, and other organizations to utilize. Over the next few years, there will be opportunities for community feedback and pilot testing. We look forward to sharing these resources with Work Together NC’s Community Collaborative!
