Last month, PCSAO proudly recognized the Northwest Treatment Foster Care Collaborative as the 2024 PCSAO Child and Family Advocate of the Year! The Northwest Treatment Foster Care Collaborative includes Sandusky County Department of Job and Family Services, Wyandot County Department of Job and Family Services, Ottawa County Department of Job and Family Services, Seneca County Job and Family Services, along with the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board for those four counties. This partnership of county agencies banded together to develop a program that would benefit children with complex needs, their families as the children would be placed closer to home, and foster families who were willing to take on the challenge and provide a loving, nurturing home. This program has now become the model for a new statewide pilot program being funded by the Ohio Department of Children and Youth. Today, we have 10 clusters consisting of 30 counties adopting this exciting approach as a solution to reducing residential placement, improving birth and foster family relationships, increasing reunifications, and controlling costs.
