Services
CCAS seeks to translate research into practice, focusing on evidence-based approaches designed to improve outcomes for youth at risk of or currently involved in the juvenile justice and/or child welfare systems. We provide TTA in four key areas:
1. Achieving and maintaining compliance with the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act and the four core protections it ensures.
2. Maximizing the effectiveness of state advisory groups.
3. Effectively using detention and commitment for delinquent youth.
4. Enhancing multisystem collaboration and information sharing among youth-serving agencies.
