Adolescent-Based Treatment Database for Juvenile Courts

The National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ) has compiled information on validated, adolescent-focused treatment interventions and screening instruments. The resulting Adolescent-Based Treatment Database details intervention basics, special considerations, and strategies for engaging treatment providers, allied agencies, youth, and families. This "one-stop shop" is a valuable tool for juvenile behavioral health courts and anyone researching adolescent-focused treatment and screening instruments.
