The Consensus Project recently hosted a webinar on exploring successful practices for directing youth with mental health disorders, including those with co-occurring substance dependence, to treatment. The webinar also examined innovative and collaborative programming that some jurisdictions have employed that have decreased the harmful effects of a youth's on-going involvement with the juvenile justice system. The recorded webinar is now available online. You are also invited to participate in an online discussion forum on this important topic. There, you can post any of your unanswered questions from the webinar, or share the lessons learned within your own jurisdiction about your successes and challenges with implementing juvenile diversion programs. We look forward to hearing from you on the forum!
