Abstract

Introduction: During the last years there has been growing concern and interest, in both professionals and users of the mental health services, for the transition process experienced by patients from Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS) to Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS). As a result, since the beginning of the century, numerous studies and projects have emerged in different countries to analyze this
situation and to enable the design of a best-practice model for the transition that ensures the continuity of
the attention and the accomplished work, providing the greatest possible stability to our patients. Objetive:
Following this line of action, the Strategic Plan for Mental Health of the Community of Madrid 2018-2020 in its Strategic Line 2 (Mental health care in children and adolescents) sets the objective of the Implementation of Services Transition Programs of Mental Health of Children and Adolescents to those of Adults. Results: We present the Transition Card that we have designed, base tool of the transition program in our attention area, as a result of the multidisciplinary work (social work, nursing, psychology and psychiatry) of the professionals, both of the AMHS and the CAMHS, who make up the Group for the Transition of the Area of Clinical Management of Psychiatry and Mental Health (AGCPSM) of Hospital 12 de Octubre.
