Behavioral Health Respite is available to youth enrolled in OhioRISE. If your child is not currently enrolled in OhioRISE, contact our ISBH Access Team at referral@isbh.org or 800.321.8293 to learn more about eligibility and the enrollment process. If your child is already enrolled in OhioRISE, speak with your Care Coordinator about incorporating respite into your child's care plan and visit Respite4Kids.com to enroll, explore available providers, and select a provider who best meets your family's needs.

Respite providers are caring individuals who offer temporary support and supervision to youth while providing caregivers with a meaningful break. Becoming a respite provider is a rewarding, paid opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of youth and families in your community. Respite providers are employed by the Ohio Respite Alliance (ORA). Interested individuals, including natural supports, can begin the enrollment process at Respite4Kids.com. Providers must complete an application, background check, CPR and First Aid certification, and required training in trauma-informed care and de-escalation.
