This SchoolHouse Connection webinar explains Nevada Assembly Bill 197, which expands access to health care for unaccompanied homeless youth under age 18. It highlights the importance of removing consent barriers that prevent youth from receiving medical, dental, and mental health services. Examples include explanations of who qualifies as an unaccompanied youth and how providers and schools can support access to care. The resource is designed to inform educators, liaisons, and caregivers about policy changes and practical steps to ensure youth experiencing homelessness can receive timely and appropriate health services.
