New National Report Calls for Expanded Access to Behavioral Health Respite Care for Children and Families

Titled Best Practices in Community Behavioral Health Respite Care for Children and Families, the report is among the most comprehensive national resources to date examining how short-term relief services for caregivers can reduce burnout, prevent crises, and strengthen family well-being—while also lowering the cost of care.

Trusted Advocates for Kids and Families

Every child deserves a family, and every family deserves a chance for success. These principles guide the mission of the Ohio Children’s Alliance, Ohio’s oldest and largest child advocacy organization. Working hand-in-hand with state and community leaders, the Alliance serves as trusted advisors and advocates on legislative and executive public policy including behavioral health, Medicaid, and foster care.

 

We pursue this work through collaborations with state agencies, philanthropic foundations, insurance companies, business leaders, community-based organizations, and young people themselves.
