Juvenile Rehabilitation (JR) strives to make communities safer and help youth and young adults returning from confinement to become productive citizens. Successful reentry is based on a strong, culturally-responsive continuum of care and support, effective treatment services, comprehensive education, vocation and employment programs and more.
Last week, TVW hosted a virtual work session for the Improving Institutional Education Programs & Outcomes Task Force. The task force heard experiences from youth in institutional settings, provided an overview of ESHB 2116, selected co-chairs, discussed the role of school districts in supporting institutional education and more.
