Abstract

Transition support is an integral part of the care of adolescents in clinical services. To avoid disruptions in the care pathway, transition spaces in pediatric and adult hospitals are emerging. There are currently fifteen in France. The professionals working there and the tools and methods used are heterogeneous, but with a common challenge which is the reduction of the major risk of disruption of the care pathway and support for the life course.
