SUMMARY:Child Welfare Coalition Call
DESCRIPTION:Join ICOY and other member organizations on a call to discuss key changes in the child welfare and youth-led arena. \nThe goal is to create a child welfare system that prepares youth to become successful and self-sufficient. Illinois Collaboration on Youth (ICOY) seeks to focus the attention of Illinois’ elected officials in all branches of government on the systematic challenges facing the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and the private agencies that deliver many of the services within their communities. \nWe work continuously with lawmakers and other stakeholders to educate them about the impact of nearly two decades of neglect of this system\, and to advocate for the investments and reforms that are needed to fund and sustain the community-based providers of child welfare services. \nThese calls will take place twice a month and we are asking that all participants register to join.

SUMMARY:Briefing on Adolescent Domestic Battery in Illinois
DESCRIPTION:Members are invited to a briefing on Friday\, April 25th at 1PM by law students at Loyola’s Legislation and Policy Clinic on Adolescent Domestic Battery. Family conflict drives a significant number of youth arrests and enmeshes families in the juvenile justice system. However\, this approach does not produce positive outcomes for youth\, families\, or communities.  \nThe law students have been researching potential statutory changes to allow and encourage alternative approaches that can produce better outcomes.  \nThis discussion will focus on what we know about “adolescent domestic battery” and how we can change Illinois law\, particularly the “Minors Requiring Authoritative Intervention” section of the Juvenile Court Act\, to encourage referrals to youth services providers and provision of services\, such as Comprehensive Community-Based Youth Services (CCBYS)\, to address family needs and strengths. After the presentation\, everyone is welcome to share any concerns or questions to address issues or possibly find better approaches.
