Overview of TIP Model
The Transition to Independence Process (TIP) Model, an Evidenced Based/Promising Practice, was developed by the National Network on Youth Transition ( NNYT) at the University of South Florida to address the unique needs of Transitional Age Youth (TAY) with emotional and behavioral difficulties by preparing them for their movement into adult roles through an individualized process, engaging them in their own future's planning process, as well as providing developmentally-appropriate services and supports.
Stars Behavioral Health Group (SBHG), and the purveyor of the TIP Model, the National Network on Youth Transition, (NNYT) have partnered with several community agencies and governmental entities to form community collaboratives designed to create Communities of Learning to implement and sustain the TIP Model within agencies that serve transitional-age youth.
