Juvenile Justice and Child Welfare: Multi-System Integration Certificate Program for Private Sector Leaders

05/01/2012 12:26 PM

Nov 7–14, 2012 | Georgetown University, Washington DC (Map) | CALENDAR

The Juvenile Justice and Child Welfare: Multi-System Integration Certificate Program for Private Sector Leaders conducted by the Center for Juvenile Justice Reform (CJJR) at Georgetown University's Public Policy Institute is a weeklong program of intensive study designed for those who want to improve outcomes for youth known to the juvenile justice and child welfare systems--youth commonly referred to as "crossover youth." The program is geared toward service providers that work with youth known to the juvenile justice and child welfare systems, but also advocates, academicians, foundation staff and others whose work is closely related to improving service delivery for this population and relationships between the private and public sectors.

Upon completion of the week-long program, participants apply the knowledge they gain via a Capstone Project—a reform agenda they implement in their organization/ community to make a positive impact on the lives of crossover youth. In order to enhance the possibility of implementing cross systems change after returning from the program, applicants from the same jurisdiction are encouraged to apply as “mini-teams.”

Applications for the program being held November 7-14, 2012 are due by July 17, 2012.

The Juvenile Justice and Child Welfare: Multi-System Integration Certificate Program for Public Sector Leaders conducted by the Center for Juvenile Justice Reform (CJJR) at Georgetown University's Public Policy Institute is a weeklong program of intensive study designed for those who want to improve outcomes for youth known to the juvenile justice and child welfare systems--youth commonly referred to as "crossover youth."

Information Sharing Certificate Program

The Information Sharing Certificate Program is designed to enable leaders in the juvenile justice, child welfare, education, behavioral health and other child serving fields to overcome information sharing challenges that prevent the communication and coordination that is necessary to adequately serve youth known across multiple systems of care. The target audience for the Information Sharing Certificate Program is public and private sector leaders working in the juvenile justice, child welfare, mental health, substance abuse, education and other related systems of care who seek to improve information sharing in their communities.

The program is conducted by the Center for Juvenile Justice Reform (CJJR) at Georgetown University's Public Policy Institute, in partnership with the Juvenile Law Center (JLC), and is supported by funding from the MacArthur Foundation's Models for Change: Systems Reform in Juvenile Justice Initiative. The program provides a venue through which leaders can increase their knowledge about information sharing, develop action plans (Capstone Projects) for reform, and receive technical assistance to break through barriers they encounter when implementing the reforms.

Applications are due by June 28, 2012.

“Improving Justice Outcomes for Youth and Families: Uniting Science, Policy and Practice”

2012 CJJ Annual Conference
June 21-24, 2012
Hyatt Regency, Bethesda, MD (right outside of Washington, D.C.)

This working conference will focus on innovations and improvements that prevent and reduce court contact and involvement for children, youth and families.

In recent years, the science of brain and adolescent development, coupled with increasing emphasis on empirically supported policies and practices, has changed the course of juvenile justice. Many jurisdictions and practitioners emphasize strength-based approaches. These are centered on meeting the multiple, complex needs of youth and their families, while also preventing out-of-home placements, court involvement, detention and incarceration. The results are profoundly positive for both youth and community safety.

Registration opens middle-late March, 2012. Please check out CJJ's website for more information: www.juvjustice.org

CJJ Conference registration fees fully comply with all Office of Justice Programs (OJP) policies and guidelines regarding the use of SAG and federal funds. Registration fees will not be used for the purchase or support of conference food and beverage provisions.
