Linking Systems of Care for Ohio's Youth: Bridging Research to Practice Series

LSCOY JFC Presentation - Robert Shapiro A Virtual Research Series of the Linking Systems of Care for Ohio’s Youth (LSCOY) Project

The LSCOY research symposium was presented as a month-long research series in September. Each week showcased two of the symposium presentations, highlighting innovative work across Ohio that bridges the gap between research and practice. 

The primary goal of the Linking Systems of Care for Ohio’s Children and Youth project is to improve responses to child and youth victims and their families by providing consistent, coordinated responses that address the full presenting issues and full range of victims’ needs. The project is guided through three principles: Healing Individuals, Families and Communities; Linked Systems of Care; and Informed Decision Making http://www.linkingsystemsofcare.org/about/guiding-principles.html, (National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, 2018). 

One goal  of the Linking Systems of Care for Ohio's Youth (LSCOY) project is that "child/youth-serving systems are linked at the state level for greater coordination to improve family outcomes and the responsiveness and efficiency of systems" to young victims of crime. Very early in the project, LSCOY recognized that Ohio's research community is a critical partner in this goal and that Ohio practitioners have a wealth of data to inform researchers.  The LSCOY Project believes that Bridging Research to Practice series is an important strategy in building Ohio's research capacity, as it is one way to highlight innovative practices that are occurring in Ohio. Together we may seed new lines of inquiry, grow valuable partnerships, and cultivate findings for the benefit of Ohio's youngest victims of crime. As a result we are pleased to offer this free series of webinars, and we invite you to connect with us regarding research projects of interest by joining our LSCOY newsletter mailing list. 

The LSCOY Bridging Research to Practice Series ran throughout the month of September 2020. Over the course of the 7 presentations, information was shared by individuals who worked to bring current research to practice approaches.  Ohio researchers and practitioners shared innovative approaches to assisting children, youth, and their families who had experienced trauma and victimization.  Certificates, CEUs, and CLEs will be available in October with certificates emailed to qualifying participants.  Presentation materials related to each session can be found under the Training Session Details and Presentation Materials menu below.  For more information, please contact Nancy.Radcliffe@ohioattorneygeneral.gov
