ODP Save the Dates! Upcoming Meetings and Conferences Announced
Positive Practice Virtual Meeting
April 6, 2023
April’s Positive Practice program sessions will focus on Human Trafficking. Hear from speakers at The Covenant House of Philadelphia. The Covenant House works with young individuals, primarily under the age of 21, who are facing homelessness and victimization. These individuals are often at risk for human trafficking, which is statistically increasing in the state of Pennsylvania. Individuals with mental illness and those with intellectual disabilities as well as autism are the most at-risk group. Join Positive Practice as they share best practices and available resources for clinicians, providers, and County/Administrative Entities (AEs). National implications will be discussed as well with other Covenant House programs across the United States.
