SUMMARY:Heart Work Series: Am I Just Another Number? Healing-centered Re-unification for Young People who are Justice-impacted
DESCRIPTION:National Training & TA Center for Child\, Youth\, & Family Mental Health \n\n\n\nState studies by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention reveal a 55% re-arrest rate for youth within a year of release\, compared to a 24% reincarceration and re-confinement rate. This series challenges the traditional focus on re-entry plans\, which often fail to address the underlying needs of young people. We’ll explore how cross-systems of care can help young people transition from re-entry to re-integration with their communities and families. \nIn each session\, you’ll hear from national and international leaders working on the frontlines of youth justice championing healing-centered approaches. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about new paradigms for youth justice! \n\n\n\nRegister here>>
