Transitional Aged Youth Coordinating Committee (or TAY CC)

  • A collective group of Halton youth and adult service providers, who meet via zoom quarterly (or more frequently depending on need), with the goal of supporting youth ages 16-24 that are struggling to make connections to community supports (youth or adult) or that are aging out of youth supports and are looking for adult supports.
  • Once the below referral form is returned to taycc@haltonadapt.org,  then a meeting is scheduled for the youth’s profile to be presented to the Committee (by the youth or referral source) to brainstorm resources that are available in Halton (either in the short term or long term) based on the areas of life identified by the youth.  The recommendations will be provided in written format to the client and/or referral source and assistance with warm connections will be available to the youth.
  • The TAY “menu”, seen below, outlines the service providers/resources that can be spoken to as relevant to the youth’s situation.
