OYI Right Interactions Practice Test

The Transition step is about closing the current interaction in a way that moves the youth toward the next phase. It involves both acknowledging the youth’s willingness to talk and planning for what happens when they return to the broader population. Affirming the youth for speaking reinforces trust and encourages open communication, which is essential for ongoing cooperation and safety. At the same time, preparing for the youth to return to the population lays out concrete steps, supports, and expectations to ensure a smooth, safe return and continuity of care or supervision. Together, these actions capture the essence of transitioning: recognizing the engagement and actively planning for what comes next.
