“It’s no coincidence that four of the six letters in HEALTH are HEAL.” – Ed Northstrum

This November Focus on Runaway Prevention

Did you know, on average, there are over 3,000 reports of missing juveniles under the age of 18 in the Omaha area in a given year? These youth are most vulnerable to sexual exploitation, sex trafficking and other victimization due to their young age and vulnerabilities.

A triage system has been established for non-system involved missing youth to be brought to Project Harmony for a thorough mental/behavioral health assessment, medical exam, forensic interview (if needed), advocacy, crisis counseling with the youth and caretaker, and connection to appropriate community services.

If needed, a follow up multi-disciplinary team review will be conducted with current providers, DHHS, law enforcement, Juvenile County Attorney and other professionals with expertise working with non-system involved youth, human trafficking, trauma, etc. to ensure information sharing, comprehensive treatment planning and identification and development of any service/resource needs or gaps.

If you are a caregiver or concerned party of a youth in Nebraska who has run away, please report them missing to your local police department and the Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-652-1999. You can also call Project Harmony at 402-595-1326 for support services. Just ask to talk to a staff member in the Missing Youth Services Program and we will be glad to assist you.
