Teachable Tuesday: More Resources

For National Runaway Prevention Month’s Teachable Tuesday, we already covered Chapin Hall’s Voices of Youth Count initiative and the State Index on Youth Homelessness from True Colors Fund and the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty. Below are a few more resources for you to explore:

1. State Report Cards – Protected Innocence Challenge
Shared Hope International

This annual report is a comprehensive study of existing state laws designed to inspire and equip advocates to address domestic minor sex trafficking. These report cards grades each state based on 41 key legislative components that must be addressed in a state’s laws in order to effectively respond to the crime of domestic minor sex trafficking. In addition, each state receives a complete analysis of this 41-component review and practical recommendations for improvement. Click here to see your state’s report card.

2.  Runaway & Homeless Youth and Relationship Violence Toolkit
National Resource Center for Domestic Violence (NRCDV)

This Toolkit was developed by and for advocates in the runaway and homeless youth (RHY) and domestic and sexual assault (DV/SA) fields to help programs better address relationship violence with runaway and homeless youth. The Toolkit organizes information, resources, tips and tools drawn from the wealth of information gathered when the two service systems were convened through local collaborative projects funded by the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
