Welcome to the Foster Youth and Homeless Education Services Program at the
Humboldt County Office of Education. We are here to help ensure that foster and homeless
youth receive the full benefits of a free and appropriate public education that all students
are entitled to, including preschool programs. We work in collaboration with all the
Humboldt County school districts, Humboldt County Department of Social Services,
Humboldt County Probation and other community based agencies to fully implement both
the state (AB 490 Foster Youth Education) and federal (McKinney-Vento Homeless
Education Assistance Act) laws which govern and protect the educational rights of foster
and homeless youth and children.
Foster and homeless youth often experience numerous changes in placement and
living situations which cause interruptions in their educational settings. The emotional
adjustments of these changes combined with the sense of falling behind can be
overwhelming for these students. It is estimated that for each mid-year school placement
change, a student will fall behind academically by six months. Graduation rates for foster
and homeless youth are 20% to 30% below the national average of their peers.
We can assist these students and their families by helping with:
Immediate enrollment in school Assistance with school services to maintain educational stability Timely transfer of educational records Assistance with obtaining immunization and medical records Transportation plans from the current residence to the school of origin Referral to Community Resources Linkage to community college/vocational programs

Service Description
“Radical mental health, by and for the mad community.” Locally this volunteer community resource offers advocacy, great materials, and peer support and discussions once a month. The internet community stretches across the world and offers empowering and alternative viewpoints to the DSM and Western cultural standards of mental health and treatment. It was founded by mental health advocate Jacks McNamara, after her own experiences with childhood abuse and as a psych ward inpatient. This network of people living with or affected by things often diagnosed as psychiatric conditions have a mission statement that focuses on overcoming alienation and using one’s madness to tap into brilliance. The community group is pushing to go beyond the medical model, to self-educate about alternatives, to support each other in balancing wellness and action (self-care), advocating for access to alternative treatments that aren’t limited by income, promoting non judgment and non violence, and respect for diversity.

The APS agency in Humboldt County is managed by the Department of Health and Human Services and is comprised of Social Workers, Public Health Nurses, Mental Health Nurses, and Vocational Assistants. If someone suspects the abuse, neglect, and/or exploitation of a dependent adult/elder, a referral can be made to the APS abuse hotline 24-hours a day. Once a referral is received, a social worker will investigate the allegation and (in conjunction with other agencies) determine the best course of action to rectify or prevent any current/future risk that the person may have/will suffer. Counseling, conservatorship, victim advocacy, money management, and out-of-home placements are among the services offered to the clients of APS. Though APS only investigates abuse by those that are not nursing home, hospital, residential care, or long term care facility staff members, Community Care Licensing (CCL) does investigate these claims and can be reached by calling the APS abuse hotline or contacting your local CCL office.
