Ohio Handle With Care is a collaborative cross-systems, trauma informed program aimed at ensuring that children who are exposed to adverse events receive appropriate interventions at school and have opportunities to build resilience through positive relationships with teachers and first responders. Directed by Hopewell Health Centers and supported by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, Ohio HWC collaborates with communities across the state to implement HWC to fidelity. In Lorain County, Lauren Cieslak Youth Services Program Officer at the MHARS Board, Chantille Jackson Elyria City Schools Social Worker, and Caroline Bryant Paramedic at Life Care Ambulance are the coordinators.
Handle With Care asks first responders to note when a school-aged youth is present during any event where first responders are present and send a simple alert. The first responder obtains the child’s name and school, then sends a notice stating, “Handle with Care”. No specific information about the event is needed. Thanks to Eastern Heights and Elyria Fire + EMS for their first responder visit; The goal of Handle With Care is building resiliency through relationships! #handlewithcareohio #mharslc
