Improving Outcomes for Youth in Custody: How San Diego County Is Enhancing Residential and Reentry Services for Youth on Probation
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, January 7, 2020
8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Session Type: Workshop
Agencies and staff working in juvenile correctional institutions need support implementing best practices to achieve optimal outcomes for youth in post-dispositional residential care through reentry into the community. This workshop will review the Youth in Custody Practice Model (YICPM), which serves as a guide to best practices in youth corrections. An overview of the YICPM will be provided, including the origins of its development, core components, and how it serves as a roadmap for the Training and Technical Assistance provided via the YICPM initiative. As an example of the implementation of the YICPM, the County of San Diego Probation will review strategies for how the model was used to engage in practice enhancements in their juvenile detention and residential facilities in order to promote safe, fair and healthy environments; empower staff to provide effective services; increase positive outcomes for youth and families; and enhance community safety.
