California’s Continuum of Care Reform (CCR) has created significant change in the delivery of services to youth and their families involved in the juvenile probation system. CCR seeks to improve outcomes for youth with mental health issues. CCR has highlighted the many complexities counties face in addressing these mental health needs. The course will help staff develop a basic understanding of juvenile mental health issues, including information about the various types of mental health services that might be available for youth in placement or at risk of placement, and address AB 1299/presumptive transfer. With the onset of COVID-19, youth are also now struggling with social isolation from the shelter-in-place orders by the Governor and President. Service delivery has had to shift, and those providing the services are also stressed. All this is taken into account in this four-hour on line course, designed for probation staff who work with youth that are in placement or at-risk of placement.
