This guide provides best practices for youth justice stakeholders.
This best practices guide reviews the most current literature about youth and family engagement and conducted in-depth interviews with dozens of system-involved young adults and their families. Their expertise and input are reflected in this guide. The guide uses a simplified continuum denoting three levels of youth and family engagement, readiness, and implementation: (1) interaction: primarily transactional (and often one-way) connections between youth/ families and program leadership and staff; (2) engagement: Relational, two-way connections between youth/families and program leadership and staff; and (3) partnership: Power-sharing connections between youth/families and program leadership and staff.
