Background:
Justice involved populations are disproportionally people of color. This board action request seeks to continue the training and consultant services of Jonathan I. Cloud to assist in implementing Growth Focused Case Management (GFCM) to improve outcomes for youth on juvenile probation, 85% of whom are youth of color.
GFCM training provides a practice framework that is person-centered and focused on the youth’s growth or well-being and that is supported by positive youth development principles and adolescent brain science. Trainings include a supervision approach that helps foster a healthy, respectful, and empowered work environment in which probation staff feel safe to take risks and embrace personal accountability for their work with youth.
Resolution 22-0478 approved Amendment 1, providing continued training in the GFCM framework to further build competencies of the Department of Community Corrections and Rehabilitation (DOCCR) Juvenile Probation staff, as well as consulting services to implement tools for case management, policy and procedure development, ongoing monitoring, and outcome evaluations. This amendment allows the provider to complete the training program, develop a bench card and create a training module with DOCCR’s Train, Coach, Practice Unit. It also provides opportunity to train additional justice partners, provide practical tools tailored to those partners’ role in the GFCM model, refine measurements and processes for publishing outcomes.
To date, GFCM training has been provided to all staff in in DOCCR’s Juvenile Probation and Field Services Client Programming divisions as well as representatives from the County Attorney’s and Public Defender’s offices, judges, and various community groups. In total well over 100 staff from the county and community have been trained and are able to impact youth and families in Hennepin County.
