Statehouse News Bureau Parents advocate for more funding into multi-system youth programs in 2019. Ohio has started the OhioRISE program to meet the needs of those with serious mental health and behavioral health issues. Ohio is launching a new program aimed at coordinating care for kids with complex mental and behavioral health issues. It's part of a plan to keep families intact while seeking treatment. Children, teenagers, and young adults with severe mental health issues can often bounce from one agency or provider to another for the care they need. This is known as multi-system youth. In some cases, parents have had to relinquish custody to qualify for funds needed for care or they had to send their children to a congregate care setting, like a group home.
