Juvenile Justice Mental Health

Juvenile Justice Mental Health refers to the assessment and treatment of mental health issues among young people involved in the juvenile justice system. It recognizes that some minors in trouble with the law may have mental health challenges that influence their behavior. Providing appropriate mental health services aims to address underlying issues, promote rehabilitation, and reduce future delinquency. The goal is to ensure that youths receive supportive care that considers their psychological needs, helping them make positive life changes while balancing public safety.
