New P/PV Briefs Focus on Integration of Services in Schools and the Ninth Grade Transition
|
|
|
|
| P/PV's GroundWork series summarizes available evidence on a variety of social policy topics. The first issue, The Case for School-Based Integration of Services, reviews literature on the potential benefits of simultaneously providing healthcare, out-of-school-time learning and family support services in schools. The second issue, Paving the Way for Success in High School and Beyond, focuses on the transition from middle school to ninth grade—its importance, associated challenges for youth and suggestions for easing the transition.

Overview
|
|
For many years, P/PV has developed and tested programs designed to help young people reach their full potential. While many such programs are operated in distinct community-based settings, we have increasingly seen that schools can also serve as important centers for youth and their families to access much-needed supports, including mentoring, health care, enrichment experiences, and public benefits and services.
