On June 27, participants will have the chance to meet with their Senators and Representatives to discuss the importance of improving and supporting our juvenile justice system. Legislative offices are just a short walk or cab ride away from our conference hotel, the Hyatt Regency. Participants are responsible for scheduling their own legislative meetings.
This year's workshops and plenaries will take place from June 28th through the 29th, and will focus on the latest research, developments, and challenges facing our field today.
The following questions will be addressed in meetings, table-talks, and workshops alike:
- How can states and communities serve as leaders in shaping a better juvenile justice system?
- How can we improve collaborations with young people with lived experiences in the systems we work with?
- What can be done to leverage partnerships to help improve physical and mental health services, and better address youths' needs for education and housing?
- What role does advocacy play as communities seek to improve services and provide for trauma-informed care for children and youth?
