The group is for professionals, policy makers, and advocates involved in juvenile justice and teen alcohol and drug treatment. It's sponsored by Reclaiming Futures, a U.S. initiative designed to help young people in trouble with drugs and crime.

We're launching this group to create a forum for discussions about juvenile justice policy; juvenile justice reform initiatives and projects; ways to improve adolescent substance abuse treatment; and to share news and recent research in these fields. While primarily focused on work in the United States, we have a significant percentage of international members, and are open to ideas and information from other countries. « less
