Runaway and Homeless Youth and Relationship Violence Toolkit

This Toolkit organizes information, resources, tips and tools drawn from the wealth of information gathered when the two service systems were convened through local collaborative projects funded by the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This toolkit was originally developed in 2013 by and for advocates in the runaway and homeless youth and domestic violence and sexual assault fields to help programs create partnerships, meaningful services, and effective intervention and prevention strategies for working with youth at risk.

The Toolkit was updated in January 2022, including sections addressing:

1. RHY & Relationship Violence
2. Intersecting Issues
3. A Look at Each Field
4. Common Ground
5. Building Partnerships
6. Building Services
7. Measuring Success
8. Sustaining Collaboration
9. Additional Resources
