Training and Technical Assistance to Implement Broadly Competent Court Systems Change Project
Note:
This awardee has received supplemental funding. This award detail page includes information about both the original award and supplemental awards.
This project provides training and technical assistance to develop broadly competent court systems focused on treating families holistically regardless of the door through which they entered. With judicially-led collaborative teams, state and tribal courts will implement empirically-supported and promising practices across case types to improve outcomes for children and families, including reduction of disproportionality and disparate treatment for children and families of color, improved outcomes for victims of domestic minor sex trafficking, and increased awareness of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. The NCJFCJ's long history of working with juvenile and family courts and its strong relationships with judges around the country have contributed to vast institutional knowledge of the needs of judges and other court professionals. The current project leverages this knowledge to broaden the implementation of court reform through four proven strategies: Targeted training for state court and tribal court judges and other juvenile and family court professionals; onsite technical assistance; research and evaluation; and dissemination of strategies for improved practice in juvenile and family courts.
The NCJFCJ will evaluate the effectiveness of training, onsite technical assistance, and dissemination efforts, and the success of system improvement efforts to create a court-focused body of empirically-supported practice.

This project provides training and technical assistance for judges and court personnel in order to develop broadly competent court systems focused on treating families holistically. With judicially-led collaborative teams, state and tribal courts will implement empirically-supported and promising practices across case types to become more trauma-responsive, and improve outcomes for children and families, including reduction of disproportionality and disparate treatment for children and families of color and improved outcomes for victims of domestic minor sex trafficking.
