A Resource for Families

When a family has a son or daughter involved with the Juvenile Justice System it can be a confusing and terrifying time. Those whose child/youth also has a serious emotional disturbance or mental illness, families are faced with navigating complex systems at a time when they may also be first learning about mental illness and treatment. Often parents donâ€™t know where to turn. The members of the Juvenile Justice Behavioral Healthcare Committee can be a valuable resource for families.

The goal of Jefferson Center’s Juvenile Justice Programs is to increase access to mental health care for youth involved in the legal system, and help decrease delinquency and criminal behavior.

A variety of programs and educational tools are available that provide access to clinical assessment and services, help link youth and families to community resources, and prevent further involvement deeper into the juvenile justice system.
