Youth who self-report being abused should be taken seriously


The Overcoming Hurdles in Ohio Youth Advisory Board is a statewide organization of young people (aged 14-24) who have experienced foster care. The OHIO YAB exists to be the knowledgeable statewide voice that influences policies and practices that impact youth who have or will experience out of home care.

On Friday, Sept. 15, 2023, the OHIO YAB held a virtual meeting with ODJFS Leadership to discuss concerns about child abuse hotlines screening out youth who self report being abused. OHIO YAB Youth Ambassadors Rory, KC and Raven participated.
