Abstract

Background: Families of youth involved in the juvenile justice system (YJJ) are integral to YJJ well-being, so it is important to consider the direct input of YJJ families as well as YJJ themselves in justice system reform efforts aiming to improve YJJ health outcomes.

Objective: Our university research team partnered with one Midwest county's juvenile court, as well as YJJ family members, to form an advisory council to the juvenile court. We report lessons learned through a case study of this council.

Methods: Researchers reviewed and analyzed council records, meeting minutes, and interviews of varied stakeholders, including system representatives, leaders of similar advisory councils, and individuals with lived experience of the juvenile justice system.

Lessons learned: Council sustainability required addressing participation barriers, valuing authentic experiences, seeking out system-based champions, and identifying concrete opportunities for members to be heard.

Conclusions: Investments in community health partnerships with YJJ families could improve system efforts to meet YJJ needs.

与受少年司法系统影响的家庭建立学术-社区伙伴关系的经验教训。

背景：参与少年司法系统（YJJ）的青少年的家庭是青少年福祉不可或缺的一部分，因此，在旨在改善青少年健康状况的司法系统改革工作中，必须考虑青少年家庭和青少年本身的直接意见：我们的大学研究团队与美国中西部一个县的少年法庭以及青少年罪犯家庭成员合作，成立了一个少年法庭咨询委员会。我们通过对该委员会的案例研究来报告经验教训：研究人员查阅并分析了理事会的记录、会议记录以及对不同利益相关者的访谈，包括系统代表、类似咨询理事会的领导者以及有少年司法系统生活经验的个人：理事会的可持续发展需要解决参与障碍、重视真实经历、寻找系统支持者，并为成员提供发表意见的具体机会：与青少年司法家庭建立社区健康伙伴关系的投资可以改善系统工作，满足青少年司法需求。
