The concept of LifeLaunch was born from the insights and achievements of a comprehensive five-year initiative, the Missouri Transition Age Youth-Local Engagement and Recovery (MO TAY-LER). This pivotal project aimed at enhancing mental health resources and support systems for young individuals navigating the critical transition into adulthood. Under the direction of Missouri’s Department of Mental Health (DMH), MO TAY-LER brought together the DMH and dynamic local teams in the St. Louis area, notably involving numerous young adults, to create a centralized resource hub. This hub is dedicated to addressing and facilitating the essential aspects of this transformative journey to adulthood.
