Bridging the Gap: Healthy Transitions for Young Adults
Episode 2
Thursday, 24 July, 2025

In this episode of Impact Stigma, Kaylee and Josh welcome Rachel Hensley, Program Coordinator for Healthy Transitions, a life-changing initiative that empowers young adults ages 16 to 25 across Greene, Sullivan, and Hawkins counties. Rachel shares how the program supports young people through crucial life changes—offering free mental health services, peer support, leadership opportunities, and lifeskill groups that promote independence, resilience, and advocacy. You’ll also hear some light-hearted “get to know you” fun, learn what makes the Young Adult Leadership Council so powerful, and debunk common myths about young adults and mental health. If you or someone you know is navigating this challenging stage of life, you’ll definitely want to hear what Healthy Transitions has to offer. As always, this podcast is not a substitute for professional care. If you’re in crisis, call or text 988 to connect with a trained crisis counselor.
