| Description: | This publication is intended to share what we, the Community Fellows of Reclaiming Futures, have learned about the crucial role families and community members can play in improving the way we help teens in the juvenile justice system who are struggling with drug and alcohol use. Families and community members have the right to be involved in decisions affecting these adolescents.They provide positive social opportunities that keep teens away from drugs and alcohol.They also have the experience needed to help shape changes in the way youth are treated in the system. This report makes the case for involving families and community members in the juvenile justice system. It then describes the Reclaiming Futures model, and how family and community involvement is an essential part of each stage of the model. Several examples are given to show how this has been integrated in the 10 Reclaiming Futures sites. |
