Runaway and homeless youth agencies and domestic violence victims' services providers share a mutual goal: enhancing the safety and healing of young people living situations marked by violence and abuse. Recognizing and understanding the intersection of runaway and homeless youth and intimate partner violence (including dating, domestic and sexual violence) is critical to creating meaningful services and effective intervention and prevention strategies for both homelessness and relationship abuse, and in creating partnerships between the programs working with youth at risk.
Why is this important?
Witnessing the ongoing abuse of a parent or experiencing child abuse, threats, or actual physical and sexual abuse are all too often the cause of youth running away or being forced from their homes. A life on the streets often exposes them to additional risks or victimization. What they have seen in an abusive home environment or experienced on the street is often repeated by the youth themselves in their own relationships. Because homeless youth have so little control over their lives, using violence in relationships may be a way of trying feel more in control. Runaway and homeless youth often have little or no support systems and those being abused in a relationship may find it more difficult to leave their abusive partner if they have no one to help them understand what is happening and the options available to them.
Who is the Toolkit for?
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. The FYSB Initiative<http://www.nrcdv.org/rhydvtoolkit/fysb-initiative/index.html>, which brought together domestic violence programs and runaway and homeless youth agencies to address relationship violence among homeless, runaway, and street youth. In this Toolkit, DV/SA providers will find information designed to increase their understanding of runaway and homeless youth and the network of programs and services working with them and, conversely, RHY providers will find resources on intimate partner violence and the programs and networks that provide protections and support to victims of violence. An increased understanding and dialogue between these systems at the service level can result in improved services overall.

Safe Children - Strong, Supported Families: Differential Response
DR Bulletin: Message from DHS Child Welfare Director Lois Ann Day
To: All DHS Child Welfare Staff & Oregon Stakeholders
(Please FW to your local partner/stakeholder lists!)
Governor Kitzhaber released his 2015-17 balanced budget last week. This budget includes additional Child Welfare staff to support investments aimed at safely and equitably reducing the number of children in foster care. There are several strategies that are supported in this budget, including additional resources to continue our implementation of Differential Response (DR). Based on these additional resources, we predict we will complete our statewide roll-out of DR in 2017.
Today, Districts 5 and 11 are practicing DR and Districts 4 and 16 are in the readiness phase, working toward a start in the spring of 2015. We have developed a draft schedule for statewide implementation which gives staff and communities an idea of when DR will be coming to their area. This is a draft schedule and we may need to make adjustments over time but below is our best thinking.
County/District Start DR
D5-Lane
D11-Klamath, Lake 5/14
D4-Linn, Benton, Lincoln
D16-Washington 4/15
D7-Coos, Curry
D8-Josephine, Jackson
D15-Clackamas 12/15
D1-Clatsop, Columbia, Tillamook
D2-Multnomah 8/16
D9-Hood River, Wasco, Gilliam, Sherman, Wheeler
D12-Umatilla, Morrow
D13-Union, Wallowa, Baker
D14-Grant, Harney, Malheur 4/17
D3-Marion, Polk, Yamhill
D6-Douglas
D10-Jefferson, Crook, Deschutes 10/17
We gave thought to a number of factors in creating this schedule. When we developed the Oregon design for DR, we wanted to be sure our implementation was adequately supported and we felt comfortable that we would have consistency across the state and fidelity to the Oregon Safety Model (OSM) and our model of DR. The factors considered in creating this plan include the ability to provide sufficient support and coaching during the 6 month readiness period as well as post implementation: time to learn from the previous districts and make adjustments as needed; geography and travel schedules for coaching staff, and time for the districts to have peer to peer learning opportunities. As we move forward and learn from the counties that have implemented, we believe less preparation time may be needed as more districts are practicing DR and supporting each other. This could result in some acceleration in the schedule. If we encounter barriers we didn't anticipate, it may result in statewide implementation taking longer. We will look for indicators of success and fidelity as we move through the districts to guide our schedule.
We remain committed to providing staff the resources needed to implement DR so that they can practice with fidelity after consultants move to the next counties. One of the important lessons learned from other states is that a staged implementation is critical because it allows for the accumulation of knowledge through trial and error. Often, the early counties encounter barriers, sometimes significant ones, which require problem solving and creative thinking. From their process of successfully working through practice changes and the removal of obstacles, they generate important knowledge that can then be shared with the next round of counties/regions. This process of internal, county-county TA has been described by many jurisdictions as critical to the success of their larger implementation process. Without such opportunities to develop and share knowledge, each wave must essentially reinvent the wheel all over again, and make themselves vulnerable to similar and new barriers the emerge. Our coaching model is one we adapted from other states and it has been essential in building the expertise of our staff so they can become DR experts in their own offices, guiding others in using the model and ultimately changing the front door to Oregon's Child Welfare.
A change this big will not happen overnight. We have put a lot of thought into our state-wide roll out plan. Using implementation science principals we are working to give staff the resources and time they need to make this shift. Please contact me with any questions.
Take care,
~Lois
