PARTNERS IN PROGRAM PLANNING FOR ADOLESCENT HEALTH (PIPPAH) PUBLICATIONS

Author: Karen Aileen Howze
Publication Date: 2002
About the book:
* Should information about educational, medical, dental, nutritional, psychological/behavioral, and sexual development/activity be available to the court in mandated court reports?
* Should updated health information be included in each teen’s case plan?
* Should the court inquire about these issues at hearings?
This guide will help you answer these questions and more. It is designed to help judges, attorneys and social workers ensure the well-being of teens under court supervision. Prepared under the PIPPAH initiative funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the US Department of Health and Human Services, this judge’s guide is a first step in the continuing effort to develop standards to ensure that the Adoption and Safe Families of 1997 (ASFA), Medicaid’s Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT), and the Foster Care Independence Act of 1999 (FCIA) are used effectively to promote “well-being” for teens in care.
