Community support critical for keeping Ohio kids out of foster care

(PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE) - Experts believe improving Ohio's overwhelmed foster-care system requires implementing solutions to set families up for success long before a crisis occurs. Dr. Joe Luria, physician and vice president of mental health operations for Cincinnati Children's Hospital, said families who are either frustrated with the health care system or can no longer manage their child's behaviors end up in the emergency room as a last resort. He wants to improve community education on mental health so caregivers can spot early warning signs of distress.
