The Probation Case Management Essentials for Youth in Placement, a publication of the National Center for Juvenile Justice, was developed with the assistance of a Mac Arthur Foundation grant in support of the Models for Change aftercare initiative. The document reflects much of the work over the past few years by the Aftercare All-Sites work group. It describes the development of a structured and thoughtful approach for implementing the probation-related goals of the Joint Policy Statement on Aftercare. It also provides a model for a comprehensive aftercare system for probation departments, public and private juvenile corrections facilities and host and home school districts.
The National Academy for State Health Policy has produced two resource documents to assist professionals in meeting the mental health needs of youth involved in the juvenile justice system. As part of their support for the Mac Arthur Foundation's Models for Change initiative, they have published a "Medicaid Primer for Juvenile Justice Officials" and a Fact Sheet specific to Pennsylvania: "An Overview of Pennsylvania's Publicly Funded Insurance Programs." Also provided as a resource is their 2006 document: "Meeting the Health Needs of Youth Involved in the Juvenile Justice System."
