Check out this webinar provided by the Reproductive Health Equity Project (RHEP). They have put together a series on the landmark report on the reproductive and health outcomes of young people in California’s foster care system. This is part one of the series.
The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) on September 26 released a report entitled “Performance and Outcome Data on the Implementation of Sexual and Reproductive Health Training and Education: Report to the Legislature,” an extensive report focused on reproductive and maternal health outcomes for young people in California’s foster care system. The report is the result of a collaborative effort between the CDSS and the Department of Health Care Services, as required by the Healthy Futures for Foster Youth Act (Assembly Bill 172) passed in 2021. California is the first state in the nation to require its child welfare agency to report comprehensively on the sexual and reproductive health outcomes for youth in foster care and to also commit to issuing such reports annually. In this first webinar, panelists will explain how the data in this innovative report was developed, review key findings, and hear what youth in care have to say. There will be opportunities to have questions answered and discussed.
