Making Collaboration Count: Advancing Data Efforts to Build and Sustain Interagency Coordination

March 27, 2025 at 1:00-1:45pm ET

The first session of the interactive Lunch and Learn Series will center one community’s efforts to build data capacity in order to improve understanding of how collaboration across the youth legal and child welfare systems impacts those they serve. Discussion will focus on how to initiate data sharing and the barriers encountered along the way, as well as highlighting the benefits of interagency data collection. Audience members will hear directly from and engage with four individuals from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, the Idaho Department of Juvenile Correction, and Bannock County Juvenile Probation – all of whom have had a hand in establishing a cross-system data sharing structure in Bannock County, Idaho.

Featured Speakers:

• Racheal Peace, Child Welfare Region VI Field Program Manager for Youth Safety and Permanency in Idaho
• Matt Olson, Director of Bannock County Juvenile Justice
• Nicole Criddle, Bannock County Juvenile Justice Crossover Youth Probation Officer
