Understanding Transition Age Youth (TAY) is a documentary film series highlighting the fascinating stories and experiences of youth transitioning into adulthood, set in the context of child welfare and the juvenile/criminal justice systems. This film was developed by the Center for Child Trauma Assessment, Services, and Interventions (CCTASI) at Northwestern University, in collaboration with ReMoved Films (creator, Nathanael Matanick) and partners in the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN). This film series is designed to raise awareness about the unique trauma-related needs and strengths among transition age youth (TAY) in these systems.
In their own words, aged-out foster youth tell the stories of their personal experiences with homelessness, drug use, and trafficking. Considering the continuum of care, this film highlight strategies, supports, and advice to providers that can build resilience among older youth as they transition out of these systems. These transition age youth have powerful insights to offer those following in their footsteps and a “call to action” for the providers that support youth within these systems.
