Description
Recorded webinar.
This course is suitable for all levels of Social Work, Mental Health, Educators, and Service Providers that are in contact with youth that are involved in the Juvenile Justice System. This course is designed to give a comprehensive outlook on Juvenile Justice Youth, their history, offenses, family, thought processes, and how communication can be more helpful while dealing with these sometimes-difficult behaviors. Within the last five years, the Juvenile Justice system has changed dramatically with new laws, additional provisions, and trauma informed care training for staff. The raise the age laws and changes in regulations for supervision for youth remaining in the community post offense have caused new challenges for behavioral health professionals in providing treatment and support. In addition, youth are still struggling to be successful within the Juvenile Justice system in relation to receiving proper treatments and making positive connections with their therapists and other service providers. This workshop is designed to discover barriers for our youth and families by using a trauma informed approach, while still being realistic and holding the youth accountable. There will be an opportunity for mental and behavioral health service providers to receive support and information that can be applied right away.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize missed opportunities, and or gaps in rapport building with targeted group.
- Differentiate between youth and families that are ready for the therapeutic engagement process versus those still contemplating.
- Analyze your current style of communication and determine if there is room for a more trauma sensitive approach.
- Identify situations/conversations that may be re-traumatizing to youth.
- Describe the importance of collaboration with the Juvenile Justice system when dealing with the youth in the community.
Research: Research on this topic can be found at the following websites:
- Perceptions of Recidivism Among Incarcerated Youth
- Probation Violations and Juvenile Justice Decision Making Implications for Blacks and Hispanics
- Examining Racial Disparities in Juvenile Justice
