Teen Talk for Youth in Alternative Settings is Health Connected’s newest curriculum designed for foster youth. This curriculum meets requirements of the California Healthy Youth Act, as well as the California Foster Youth Sexual Health Education Act. Youth have the potential to receive a $265 Amazon gift card for participating in the Spring Break session.
A new benefit of $2,700 will be available for all pregnant foster youth in California starting in January 2022. In this webinar, attendees will learn about the new benefit, eligibility, and requirements for county implementation.
RHEP has created an SB 89 Quick Reference Guide to make it easier for DCFS caseworkers to engage foster youth about healthy sexual development & reproductive health services.
RHEP's Youth Advisory Board; a collective group of advocates and former foster youth, thoughtfully developed a supportive reference guide for professionals who collaborate with foster youth on advocacy work.
The Reproductive Health Equity Project for Foster Youth brings together youth in foster care and the agencies that serve them to promote systems that normalize, support, and promote the bodily autonomy and healthy sexual development of youth in foster care.
