Lets talk about Youth Justice Centers! Facilities that resemble home-like, non-correctional environments can have a positive impact on healing, and reduce institutionalization. Jurisdictions such as Missouri, Massachusetts, and New York have shifted toward placement facilities that have home-like environments that lend themselves to high expectations and a more therapeutic, developmentally appropriate environment. These programs focus on normalizing young people’s daily lives as much as possible. This approach recognizes that facilities are better served by teaching youth skills to apply in a typical day-to-day setting as opposed to focusing on youth’s ability to follow institutional rules. Call me to discuss your next project! 🙌

As the command center of the human body, the brain plays a crucial role in early development.

❝The truth is, community colleges and early care and education are extremely vital and worthy in their own rights, providing foundational support to children, families, and students,❞ Warfield said. ❝They are distinct and noble spheres that increasingly require our collective attention and advocacy, and we must find common ground to allow the two to lift one another up for the sake of children’s health, family well-being, and economic mobility.❞ Read more: https://lnkd.in/gQcSw7Py
