This program focuses on the unique needs of young people in carceral settings. The content will explore the history of the juvenile legal system, inequities in representation and behavioral health outcomes among legally involved youth, and best practices for assessing and addressing youth behavioral health needs in carceral settings.
This program will also highlight considerations for the delivery of trauma-, gender—and culturally responsive care within carceral settings. Participants will gain a better understanding of the juvenile legal system's historical context and the state of the empirical literature related to behavioral health needs and care in youth carceral settings.
This program is geared toward mental health and other allied professionals at all levels of training who work in youth carceral settings or with youth involved in the juvenile legal system.
