By identifying these youths early, we are able to target resources more effectively and provide interventions that help these young people stay out of trouble, thus decreasing juvenile justice costs and increasing public safety. The risk and program eligibility screening tool was developed and piloted in the fall of 1999, and training in its use was provided across the state through spring of 2000.
Continued training is provided through a video available by request at county juvenile departments.
Any updates to the users' guide, or any other information necessary to provide to users, will be distributed via an electronic list-serve. Everyone who provided an e-mail address are to be included on the initial posting from the list serve. Please contact Carol Munch to join or remove your name from the list.
