Crossover Youth Practice Model: The Intersection of Child Welfare & Juvenile Justice

The Crossover Youth Practice Model (CYPM) was created by the Center for Juvenile Justice Reform in 2010 to help at-risk youth who are caught between the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. The model is implemented by professionals to cater to the unique needs of maltreated children who are more prone to delinquent behavior. This session will discuss the CYPM implementation and professionals’ roles and review case studies and outcomes.
