Ohio CASA Highlights Vital Resources for Youth With Child Welfare Experience
Ohio CASA is raising awareness about resources for youth who have been involved in the Ohio child welfare system.
Its youth-focused resources offer tools, programs and information designed to assist youth in accessing support and addressing issues related to their involvement in the child welfare system, the organisation said.
The resources are written for young people and are designed to offer practical information that can help young people recognise the services and support available.
Ohio CASA also invites young people, advocates and others who are seeking help to reach out to Ohio CASA if they are not able to locate a specific resource they need.
The initiative emphasises the need to ensure that information and support is available to young people who have experience of foster care and other aspects of the child welfare system.
Children and young people who are engaged with child welfare services can benefit from having clear information about the support that is available to them and what resources might be available to them that may address their individual needs.
Ohio CASA’s resource library is a component of its efforts with children and youth in the state’s child welfare system.
The organisation’s invitation to seek more resources also allows advocates and youth to identify gaps in information.
When young people are seeking support, they can use the youth resources provided by Ohio CASA or reach out directly to the organisation to find a specific service or programme.
