Our model

The Reclaiming Futures 6-step model provides guidance on how to identify and respond to youth and families who may have behavioral health concerns. It offers a structured approach for interacting with young people involved with the juvenile justice system. The sequencing of steps and response times (e.g. initiation with within 14 days) were developed based on best practice research and recommendations. Process and outcome measures are attached to each step, to help sites evaluate their progress. Training and technical assistance is available to help sites implement each step of the model.
