FeatureCollaboration for Reform
We are excited to see you next week at the 6th Annual Models for Change Working Conference in Washington, DC! For information, tools, and resources about the conference, please visit: www.modelsforchange.net/2011Conference. We encourage everyone to spread the word about Models for Change and juvenile justice system reform. To help, we have prepared a social media guide and are encouraging all conference participants to share conference highlights on Facebook and using the Twitter hashtag #ModelsForChange. The Models for Change Research Initiative has started to publish its series of knowledge and information briefs on innovations emerging from the Initiative. These briefs are intended to inform professionals in juvenile justice and related fields, and to contribute to a new national wave of juvenile justice reform. You can find them here: Innovation Briefs Collaboration for Reform
 This first-of-its-kind national effort worked quickly and collaboratively on these intransigent issues and generated impressive results. As the Action Networks began to wrap up their efforts, Network members and the coordinating entities – the National Center for Mental Health and Juvenile Justice, the Center for Children’s Law and Policy, and the National Juvenile Defenders Center – realized that a great deal could be learned from each other’s experiences. And so with Foundation support, a Cross Network meeting was held in May 2011, with about 100 attendees, including representatives from 16 state delegations. The twin goals of the meeting were first, for each Action Network to hear about the specific changes and reforms that were developed in each subject area; and second, to share both with each other and with the Foundation their observations about the Action Network process itself. |
