YBGR Partners With Many Rivers Whole Health to Strengthen Youth Transitions to Adult Care

Did you know young adults ages 18–25 have the highest rate of serious mental illness? Research also shows that during the transition into adulthood, when gaps form in care, the risk of psychiatric hospitalization and ER visits rises. Strengthening how we’re transitioning youth into adult mental health care is essential to closing those gaps.

Great Outcomes Happen When We Work Together

When providers collaborate, Montanans experience stronger outcomes.

That’s why we’re proud to announce our partnership with Many Rivers Whole Health, expanding support for youth in Cascade County as they move from children’s services into adult mental health care. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to stability and continuity as youth take their next steps.

Pictured above are Holly Kober and Linda Robbins from Many Rivers alongside Brittany Olson, Therapist, and Mariah Lefebre, Lead Mental Health Worker, from our North Skyline Group Home in Great Falls.

Why Transitional Care Matters

As youth age out of children’s services, the need for support doesn’t disappear—it shifts. Without a coordinated handoff into adult care, young adults can face gaps that increase the likelihood of crisis and instability.

Our partnership with Many Rivers strengthens that handoff and supports transitioning youth into adult mental health care in a way that keeps their progress moving forward.

Building Stronger Foundations for Montanans

Through this partnership, youth in Cascade County enter adulthood with a solid footing—supported by a seamless move to adult services. As we improve how we’re transitioning youth into adult mental health care, we’re strengthening Montana’s system of care and building stronger foundations for Montanans.
