Supporting transition-age youth in the CFRP framework involves empowering them to address educational challenges collaboratively. For a youth considering dropping out due to failing grades and insufficient credits, the practitioner should encourage requesting a meeting with teachers to explore solutions, such as academic support or credit recovery plans. The CFRP study guide states, “When a transition-age youth faces academic challenges threatening graduation, practitioners should encourage them to request a meeting with teachers to collaboratively address barriers and identify solutions.” Accepting delayed graduation (option A) or enrolling in an equivalency program (option C) may be options but are less immediate than engaging teachers. Asking classmates for help (option B) is less structured and less likely to address systemic issues.
