YOUth Are Worth It! Episode 5: Youth Are Worth Healing

In celebration of Youth Justice Action Month (YJAM), the National Youth Justice Network and the Coalition for Juvenile Justice launched the "YOUth Are Worth It! YJAM 2024 Video Series."

This YJAM video series builds off of the work of the youth justice movement to re-envision what it means to create youth justice. In this episode, leaders and experts discuss why it's critical to move youth justice away from punishment toward healing. This video focuses on the power of self-love in continuing to define progress.

The theme of this year's YJAM campaign, "YOUth Are Worth It" encompasses a shift toward investing in the full scope of community resources that young people need to thrive.
