You are invited to attend a special briefing on building comprehensive community-based services and supports for children and families involved in the juvenile justice system.

Please Note:  The Save the Date notice was sent last week, however the location has been changed for capacity reasons

National experts Marc Schindler, Shaena Fazal and John Dixon will participate in an informational panel and discussion that will focus on:    
  • The impact of closing youth prisons on children, families and public safety.

  • What a community-based continuum of care to address the needs of the children in the juvenile justice system must include to insure the best outcomes for the public and the children.
  • The guiding principles and strategies from the recently released “Beyond Bars: Keeping Young People Safe at Home and Out of Youth Prisons”; a report from the National Collaboration for Youth that many states are considering as they seek new ways to reduce recidivism and keep communities safer.
