Mandatory Reporting + Confidential Advocacy in Youth-Serving Settings
Original Air Date: November 15, 2023
This webinar is the second of two webinars in the Oregon Sexual Assault Task Force's 2023 “Building and Strengthening Partnerships to Better Support Youth Health and Safety” webinar Series.
The series is a part of Oregon SATF's Confidential Youth Advocacy Partnerships Project which includes the Mandatory Reporting + Confidential Advocacy Partnership Guide , a technical guide compiling best practice approaches, guidelines, laws, and sample tools to implement in partnership. It has been compiled to support youth serving institutions and organizations to partner with confidential resources to improve outcomes for young people.
This webinar focuses on establishing and improving partnerships between institutions and organizations whose primary role is serving and supporting kids and youth (like schools) and confidential community resources (like DVSA programs). As more of these institutions partner with community resources on violence and abuse prevention, there is an increased need to build robust, well-rounded response systems that can meet each young person’s needs. When prevention occurs, people often start to recognize and name their experiences with violence/abuse, and then begin reaching out for supports. One approach or model will not work for everyone, and all young people deserve equitable access to health, safety, and supports. Building more comprehensive partnerships can help ensure all kids can get the supports they need.
