JJ Mental health

In a renewed partnership, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and MacArthur will jointly provide $2 million to advance juvenile justice reform. Through a partnership first established in 2011, they will support training and technical assistance for states and local governments to meet mental health needs, reduce racial and ethnic disparities, and promote coordination and integration for youth involved in the child welfare and justice systems.
