Tailor health care to patients’ norms, beliefs, and values, as well as their language and literacy skills

Arrange full-time foster care by relatives or adults who are not a child’s parent but have a family relationship with the child when a child is removed from home due to a safety concern

Establish time-limited, subsidized, paid jobs to help individuals with barriers to employment transition to unsubsidized employment
