POLITICAL PRIORITIES

1. Data and Results-Driven Policy. System accountability through evidence-based policies that check impact on life outcomes of kids.

2. Privacy Protection. The privacy rights of juvenile offenders are protected better than those of kids from child protection. Seal files after "aging-out".

3. Mental Health Strategy. The rate of post-traumatic stress for youth after care is almost double that of war veterans. Need trauma-informed service.

4. Post-Secondary Achievement. Only 20% of qualified foster youth pursue post-secondary studies -yet graduation means more opportunities for life.
