With this solicitation, OJJDP seeks to improve the judicial system’s handling of child abuse and neglect cases by providing funding to support training and technical assistance (TTA) for judicial personnel and attorneys, particularly personnel and practitioners in juvenile and family courts, and by pursuing administrative reform in juvenile and family courts.
OJJDP envisions a juvenile justice system centered on the strengths, needs, and voices of youth and families. Young people and family members with lived experience are vital resources for understanding and reaching persons involved or at risk of involvement with youth-serving systems. OJJDP asks stakeholders to join us in sustainably integrating bold, transformative youth and family partnership strategies into our daily work. OJJDP believes in achieving positive outcomes for youth, families, and communities through meaningful engagement and active partnerships, ensuring they play a central role in collaboratively developing solutions.
