Parent/Caregiver Focus Groups Community-based Interviews Interviews with System Stakeholders Youth Focus Groups Family Court Observations Project Activities

Youth Focus Group Sites Communities Represented in Focus Groups Parent Interview/ Focus Group Sites

Who we talked to: Arrest Youth Adult Community Members Detention Facility Staff ATD Service Providers Parents/Caregivers Courts Youth Parents/Caregivers Judges Court Staff ProbationAfter-care Youth Re-Entry Service Providers Parents/Caregivers

Re: Courts Parents feel like their time is not valued No “directions” within courthouse Shortage of language interpreters Too many assumptions made by court staff Generally, “pleased” with judges “Mixed messages” to youth “Not impressed” with legal representation

Re: Detention Staff disconnected from system changes Practice vs. policy issues Parental concerns about violence and fighting Visiting No clock in waiting area “Correctional Facility” Kiosks in waiting areas Personal Property

Re: Placement Distance from home Visiting issues “Inconsistent” program availability School transitions Violence and fighting

Unanticipated “Findings” Interesting demographics School Concerns “New” substance use/abuse issues

School Discipline Policies Academic Achievement

School to Prison Pipeline Youth (inappropriate behavior) School-Based Arrest Incarceration

System Involvement Youth “Flushing” Youth “Flushing” Disconnection from School Inappropriate Behaviors Unclear Roles & Responsibilities “Blanket” Responses Negative School Climate

Re: Substance Use/Abuse Not just your average drug… Herbal incense, K2, Spice, Whatever you call it- it’s bad news!!! Can buy it practically everywhere… Smoke shops, corner stores, even Amazon.com

Next Steps A narrative report of Phase I activities will be prepared. Reports will be presented to system stakeholders for feedback and input. Phase 2 of the project will be facilitated by PJCJC (Focus groups of Family Court judges). Initial “get ready for court” materials will be developed for families. Materials will be field tested amongst community & system stakeholders. Necessary revisions will be made to Materials and a distribution plan will be developed. Staff will monitor usage of materials and evaluate overall project impact.

Policy Reform System Stakeholders Changing Practice Standards Community Education and Awareness Youth & Family Interventions and Advocacy
