Safe Schools/Healthy Students Fact Sheet Spotlights Juvenile Justice
The National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention has published Developing Safe Schools Partnerships: Spotlight on Juvenile Justice.
The information provided in this 2-page fact sheet draws on the experience of the Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative, a collaborative effort of the U.S. Departments of Justice, Education, and Health and Human Services.
Among the resources cited for developing effective juvenile justice-school relations is the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Preventions' Model Programs Guide, an online portal to scientifically tested and proven programs that address a range of issues across the juvenile justice spectrum.
