Featured Project:

Developing the Juvenile Justice Workforce

We are developing a national network of trainers to support professionals working with adolescents experiencing behavioral health and traumatic stress conditions in juvenile probation, detention, and correctional settings.

The Mental Health Training for Juvenile Justice curriculum–developed by and for juvenile probation, detention, and corrections staff–increases staff capacity to better work with adolescents experiencing behavioral health and traumatic stress conditions.

Featured Project:

Creating Alternatives to School-Justice Pathways

The School Responder Model (SRM) is a behavioral health response to school infractions that not only provides an alternative to calling law enforcement for student misbehavior but is designed to address the root causes of the behavior.

Models for Change: Systems Reform in Juvenile Justice

With support from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Center provided critical support to states and localities engaged in the Models for Change initiative. Models for Change was designed to create sustainable and replicable models of juvenile justice reform.
