Learn about the Missouri Juvenile Justice Association’s efforts to implement a statewide HANDLE WITH CARE system in Missouri. This presentation will highlight the work being done toward creating a statewide notification system; assisting schools in identifying trauma-informed practices to use when working with students who have been exposed to trauma; partnering with local mental health agencies, and assisting schools, law enforcement agencies, and juvenile courts in developing a continuum of responses to misbehavior at school that divert students from being inserted into the juvenile justice system.
