Description

Each year, more than 2 million children, youth, and young adults come into contact with the JJS, while millions more are at risk of involvement with the system for myriad reasons. A large number (65äóñ70%) have at least one diagnosable MH need, and 20äóñ25% have serious emotional issues. This report provides an overview for MH practitioners who provide professional services to youth who are involved with the JJS. It emphasizes emerging research and practices, the emerging conceptualization of trauma and its implications for youth involved with the JJS, and implications for policy and practice. This study is relevant for any MH practitioner providing professional services to youth involved or at risk of involvement in the JJS. This is a print on demand report.
