Creating Juvenile Drug Courts Communities of Practice: Sharing Information Across Courts to Improve Practice
Create resources to address barriers that impede the effectiveness of juvenile drug treatment courts (JDTCs) in serving youthful offenders with substance disorders;
Create and expand mechanisms enabling JDTCs to share their experiences and knowledge with one another;
Provide TTA to JDTC teams about operations and services.
At the conclusion of the project, JDTCs will have more and better resources to help them address the challenges of operating a multi-systemic program; links to other programs to provide and receive peer support; and access to cross-court communication tools for sharing ideas between programs.
