Key to Compliance: Reproductive and Sexual Health Policies & Practices for STRTPs

Last updated Sep 3, 2020

This webinar marked the release of “Key to Compliance: Reproductive & Sexual Health Policies & Practices for STRTPs” developed as part of JBAY’s work with the LA Reproductive Health Equity Project (LA RHEP).

The guide is intended to equip Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Programs (STRTPs) with model policies and practices across seven focus areas to improve organizations’ capacity to comply with legal requirements set forth in the California Foster Youth Sexual Health Education Act (Senate Bill 89), licensing standards, and best practice regarding the reproductive and sexual health rights of foster youth. While the guide focuses on STRTPs, the majority of the recommendations are applicable across foster care placements and programs.
