Mentoring and case management services are essential supports for youth re-entering their communities. Youth need engagement in pro-social activities, job training and mental health supports to help prevent further entanglement in the justice system. #TNOYSTownHall #youthjustice

A priority should be keeping 17-year-olds in the juvenile justice system. Texas is one of only 3 states where 17s are in the adult system. Giving these youth—high school juniors at the oldest—adult convictions sets them up for failure. Raise the Age! #TNOYSTownHall #youthjustice

Exclusionary discipline—in-and out-of-school suspensions and removals to alternative schools—cause students to fall behind academically and drop out. They also create arrests. Keeping youth in school with their peers prevents justice involvement! #TNOYSTownHall #youthjustice

Q7: What is the connection between behavior at school and justice involvement? What should schools, teachers, and communities be doing to keep students out of the juvenile justice system? #TNOYSTownHall #youthjustice

Youth aging out of both the juvenile justice and child welfare systems need re-entry planning that should include housing, education, job placement, and mental health supports. Both systems can work together to ensure that exiting youth can succeed. #TNOYSTownHall #youthjustice

Q4: How can the juvenile justice system and the child welfare system collaborate to better meet the needs of youth involved in both? #TNOYSTownHall #youthjustice

Many youth exiting the justice system have no place to go. Data shows that a majority of homeless youth have had justice involvement. Family rejection, aging out of foster care, and economic stress are all factors that help create youth homelessness. #TNOYSTownHall #youthjustice

Many youth enter the justice system through incidents that take place in their schools. Many schools have relied on law enforcement to handle disciplinary matters. Working with schools to create alternatives to arrest can help prevent involvement. #TNOYSTownHall #youthjustice

Q2: What are factors that lead to justice involvement for youth and young adults? How can youth-serving providers help prevent justice involvement? #TNOYSTownHall #youthjustice

@TNOYS Youth in the juvenile justice system in Texas are 10-16 years old. 17-year-olds and above are in the adult system. Some are under supervision on probation while others are in facilities or jails. Thousands of Texas youth are directly involved in the justice system. #TNOYSTownHall
