PREA Training for PA Providers
Through collaborative efforts between the Bureau of Juvenile Justice Services (BJJS), the Bureau of Human Services Licensing (BHSL), Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD), The Pennsylvania Council of Children, Youth & Family Services (PCCYFS) and the Juvenile Detention Centers and Alternative Programs (JDCAP), we would like to announce some upcoming training opportunities for juvenile justice service agencies/providers on PREA.
We need your assistance in passing this information on to impacted service providers.
The Training will start with two short webinars (see below) which will provide a brief introduction to the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA).
Additionally, three regional training sessions will be held to offer more detailed information.
The two webinar options below will be identical, so providers can join either session based upon their scheduling availability.
Specific questions about the webinars can be directed to:

Hosted by: Juvenile Detention Centers and Alternative Programs
July 13 - 17, 2015
For more information contact WBear@pacounties.org
If you are interested in enhancing your agency's training efforts, here is a great opportunity. This is a training opportunity that was rescheduled.
Our state association (JDCAP) members have identified a need to strengthen the skills and increase the resources for agency trainers who must offer staff development programs in a manner that also increases staff performance. Through our partnership with our National Association, we are offering a 1-week training at an extremely low price. (refer to the attached brochure/registration form). JDCAP members and members of the Institute of Applied Juvenile Justice Services (IAJJS) will be eligible for discounted rates.
Additionally, all attendees may use the room block for reduced lodging rates. Just mention JDCAP when making reservations. Room block rates will be honored until June 13.
During this week, we will use 10 new NPJS training curricula as the content and weave adult learning instructional techniques to enhance overall trainer competencies.
If you have any questions about the training, registration, or lodging, please don't hesitate to contact Wayne Bear.
