Abstract:
This document begins by exploring the important role and responsibility of each youth-serving system
in supporting well-being for youth and young adults. Next, it presents a new framework for well-being
for young people, highlighting the various domains of well-being and the role of families, communities,
and public systems in supporting well-being. Finally, this document includes a series of concrete and
actionable recommendations for youth system leaders, policymakers, and public and private funders
for improving policy and practice to support the well-being of youth who are transitioning to adulthood.
