New Report Released from CYJ

The Campaign for Youth Justice has just released its most recent report, FAMILY Comes First: A Workbook to Transform the Justice System by Partnering with Familieshttp://www.campaignforyouthjustice.org/family-comes-first.html which will be the first comprehensive analysis of current family engagement and family partnership practices in juvenile justice systems across the country and provides practical tools and resources for juvenile justice system practitioners invested in undertaking a family-driven approach to juvenile justice. We know that the ability of family members to meaningfully participate in their children’s lives makes a dramatic difference on youth outcomes. FAMILY Comes First provides a framework—The FAMILY Model—to guide efforts to create and sustain meaningful family-system partnerships.
