Finding Common Ground
Section #4 of the RHY Toolkit
Although runaway and homeless youth (RHY) agencies and domestic violence and sexual assault violence (DV/SA) programs share mutual goals, the use of different language and eligibility criteria that reduce runaway and homeless youth’s access to DV/SA services often pose challenges to collaboration between programs. This section of the toolkit examines these issues and offers strategies to enhance collaboration.
Examples of the type of resources discussed in this section of the RHY Toolkit.
This five page handout provides definitions to the basic key terms used by domestic violence and RHY service providers.
Website that contains state specific laws about mandatory reporters of child abuse and neglect.
