Community Juvenile Justice Coalition

 

What has been done:

 

  • Cross systems 101 – brought service providers together and broke down silos

  • Mental health professional for juvenile detention center

  • White paper created

  • Data regarding risk factors, gang participation and activity

  • Detention alternatives – status offenders

  • Worked on and completed Relative Rate Index for Disproportionate Minority contact

  • File monitoring of status offenders

 

Objectives for the next three years:

 

  • Detention levels would stay low; keep alternative programs

  • All parents would have knowledge about where they could reach out in community for teens

  • Seamless continuum of services

  • We would leverage our collaborative efforts and resources to better meet the community needs for appropriate youth intervention and diversion (we wouldn’t lose ground)

  • CJJC would become more diverse to include parents and under-represented groups

  • Professionals would quickly know where to go to update what’s happening in each system

  • Continued youth violence reduction trend

  • Continued mental health services

  • We’d do an even better job of collaborating

  • Increased advocacy/lobbyist

  • Emissary for these programs

  • We’d know who has the data and how to get it quickly

  • Hold on to what we can

To ensure that we do “good work” in the next three years, our priority tasks are:

 

Host Meaningful Meetings

Expand the Table

Communicate

Effectively

Partner to Determine Current ‘State of the Union’

  • Clear tasks/roles for member to maintain committed membership (EX: have a call to action at the end of each meeting; maybe request that everyone share their stats)

 

  • Margie will take mtg notes [as long as Craig is co-chair]

  • Meet 6 times a year and then evaluate

  • Pam will do online survey re: best meeting time

  • Pam and Craig: Regular agenda items to include:

    • Training needs and resources;

    • Round table format with specific sharing

    • Regular speakers (consider M. Stubblefield, King Co

    • Call to Action

  • Pay attention to the community

  • Expand table with representation

  • Get the ‘right’ people at the table (include consumers)

  • Pam will send out roster to: 1) confirm continuing interest and 2) ask “who is missing?”

 

  • Information linkage (bigger that mtgs; link websites; link documents

  • Act as a clearing- house

  • Facilitate effective networking

  • Facilitate tours of local agencies*

  • Michele: send King Co Resource book

 

  • Identify resources already at the table, including trainers

  • Current ‘state of the union’*

    • (What services exist?

    • Resources exist?

 

    • Current players/group

    • Barriers?

    • Turf issues? )

    • CM January event?

  • Identify gap issues*

  • What should ‘ideal’ [continuum of services as related to juvenile justice] be? (consider hosting another ‘continuum meeting – haven’t had one for ten years)

    • Do gap analysis; brainstorm

  • Need of list of what all the initiatives/efforts are*
