L.A.
County Youth Development Services Ombudsperson
Hello,
my name is Onitsha
Thompson
and I am a LA County
Youth Development Ombudsman.
I am here to assist you and make sure that you
receive the services in which you are eligible.
I was placed in foster care at age 11 and remained
in care until my 18 birthday. And, like many of you, I
needed to access ILP and aftercare services to make
sure that my transition into adulthood was successful.
Food for thought:
"Each choice we make causes a ripple effect in
our lives. When things happen to us, it is the
reaction we choose that can create the difference
between the sorrows of our past and the joy in our
future."
-Chelle Thompson
Please call me if:
- You have any questions about what services you
are eligible to receive and if you need
information on how to get them.
- You run into any problems getting what you need
- You have general concerns about the Emancipation
Services/Independent Living Program
- You’re overwhelmed and no one understands you
I’m here and ready to help you!
My telephone number is
(626) 229-3583.
(Youth can also call collect)
My e-mail address is newsoo@dcfs.lacounty.gov
