Applications for the New Reducing Crossover by Advancing Collaboration Certificate Program Now Open!
Posted in Announcements News
Many youth-serving systems—including child welfare, youth justice, education, and behavioral health—tend to operate in silos, making coordination of care for youth involved in multiple systems difficult at best for both the youth and those providing care. These systems also often lack the trauma-informed, holistic care that meets these youth’s complex behavioral and emotional needs. Given these challenges, a coordinated, cross-system approach is essential, and can lead to greater system efficiency and positive outcomes.
The Center for Juvenile Justice Reform at Georgetown University’s new Reducing Crossover by Advancing Collaboration Certificate Program addresses the unique challenges faced by dual system or crossover youth and provides attendees a dynamic learning opportunity to enhance their knowledge, leadership skills, and collaborative strategies. Built upon more than a decade of practical, in-depth experience from the nationally-recognized Crossover Youth Practice Model, participants will immerse themselves in cutting edge ideas, policies, and practices from across the country at Georgetown University’s Capitol Hill campus. Designed for multidisciplinary teams and individuals working with dual-system/crossover youth, the program equips participants with the tools necessary to design, implement, and sustain cross-system transformation efforts.
