ANNOTATION: The need to strengthen the ties between family members and youth involved in the juvenile justice system is explained. Family engagement is one strategy for agencies working to create “pro-social connections that will support them [juvenile offenders] in their path to adulthood” (p. v). This report is divided into six parts: introduction and background; shifting views of parents and youth—historical development and opportunity for change; family engagement—what it means; practice strategies—putting family into action; process and outcomes—what helps; and repositioning--next steps. Appendixes provide: systems of care values and principles; achievement of family group conferencing objectives; Judicial Relational Inquiry tool; and tools for identifying family and community relationships.
