What Iowa Youth Had to Say
Caseworkers have a critical role they have thepower
I was afraid of the people running the meetings
I knew the authority they had (and I had none). We understand they have high caseloads. But
when they dont return calls its like were notgood enough for them. They will only talk to our
providers. Talk to us about our issues and get our input.
Dont make decisions about our lives without ourinput.

What Iowa Youth Had to Say
If the youth dont like what is going on,they need to speak up but then you gettold to be quiet. Youth felt that were not
listened to. Workers negatively label youth. We get
condescending tones from workersa lot.
After being in the system so long, you justget used to terms being used that youdont understand.

What Iowa Youth Had to Say
Youth should have active voice in the plan
and be able to choose the person that can
help them and bring this person to
meetings with them
Help us make a back-up plan with lots of
resources. Teach us realistic problem-
solving and how to approach toughsituations

Youth Participation
All youth will take responsibility and contribute ifthey are given legitimate opportunities andongoing support to do so. If we provide youngpeople with sufficient background information to
help them prepare for the process of participationand provide them with legitimate opportunitiesfor participation to have a voice, to makechoices, to contribute, to make decisions -- wehave begun to practice effective youth
participation.
