NRRC staff and consultant Shay Bilchik from the Center for Juvenile Justice Reform at Georgetown University conducted facilitated discussions at Maricopa County Education Service Agency in an effort to enhance its aftercare services and cross-systems collaboration for youth enrolled in the "Building Futures" project.  

NRRC conducted an on-site training at Massachusetts DYS's Central Office. As such, staff supported the project in its efforts to strengthen the agency's integration of risk/needs and behavioral health for youth in its care, and specifically, once youth are released from facilities back to the community. Furthermore, staff provided training on substance use as it pertains to youth with co-occurring disorders who are under system supervision.
