How can I learn about existing program models for providing mental health services to youth in the juvenile justice system?
The Blueprint for Change includes numerous examples of programs that provide mental health services to youth at key points of contact within the juvenile justice system. These key points of contact include: • Initial Contact with Law Enforcement • Intake (Probation or Juvenile Court) • Secure Detention • Judicial Processing • Secure Juvenile Placement • Probation Supervision • Re-Entry Descriptions of the programs highlighted in the Blueprint are available at http://www.ncmhjj.com/Blueprint/CIP_Examples.shtml.
