Improving Outcomes for Court-Involved Youth with Co-occurring Disorders: Ask-the-Expert Session #1

The presence of co-occurring mental disorders among court-involved youth with substance use disorders creates unique challenges for juvenile drug treatment courts. Given the growing recognition that most youth who come in contact with the juvenile justice system experience co-occurring disorders, the National Center for Mental Health and Juvenile Justice (NCMHJJ) and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges recently released a series of three briefs and held a webinar on October 24 based on them.

In follow-up to the webinar, please join the NCMHJJ for this week's "Ask-the-Expert" session with presenter and co-author Robert Kinscherff, Ph.D., J.D., who will respond to questions on Developing Effective Policies for Addressing the Needs of Court-Involved Youth with Co-occurring Disorders.

The session will take place on November 12, 2014 from 2:00-3:30 ET. Please register by clicking here.
