Mission and Goals
The Center and its collaborators work to promote efficient means for comprehensive and reliable mental health assessment. In addition, we assist juvenile justice programs in determining how to implement these procedures and how to map appropriate mental health services onto them. We develop products to move information and knowledge between the fields of juvenile justice and mental health, and we provide recommendations for practice.

In the News....
Please see Jeff Butts' Reclaiming Futures blog for kind words about our recent publication of the Center's Archive, representing diagnostic data on approximately 10,000 youth at all levels of justice system processing. .
"It may be the best source of information yet on the prevalence of substance abuse and mental health disorders among youth in the juvenile justice system."
