The NCJFCJ’s 89th Annual Conference, July 19-22, 2022, will feature amazing presentations on current and cutting edge topics that will inspire, provoke, and precipitate discussions about issues facing the juvenile and family court system.

For 89 years, the NCJFCJ has led systems to change through the values  of Compassion, Leadership, Education, and Community through our network of more than 30,000 juvenile and family court professionals who share in the mission of this organization. For this hopeful new year, continuing to make connections with intentions is more important than ever to fully serve ourselves through self-care while serving the children, families, and survivors of violence we represent.

Plenary sessions highlighted by topic-specific training tracks on family law, juvenile justice, child welfare, and family violence; as well as sessions highlighting innovative solutions and self-care are just the beginning of the educational offerings of the NCJFCJ’s 89th Annual Conference.

Organized in 1994, the Council of Juvenile Justice Administrators (CJJA) is a national non-profit organization created to improve juvenile justice systems, enhance local correctional and residential facilities and programs and, most importantly, promote better long term outcomes for youth and their families. CJJA represents the state juvenile justice system CEOs and various local jurisdictions across the country.

Program Placements have been updated over the past year with powerful new tools that give you more control and visibility. You can now easily track referral and placement transactions (e.g., Community Service Hours, Incentives, Sanctions, etc.). Youth privilege levels can be automatically adjusted based on transaction-level achievement (Behavior Management Points). We’ll show you how to view placement information in both the youth’s profile and on your dashboard, and how to adjust transactions. This session will also show how placement data feeds into reporting, making it easier to track outcomes, identify trends, and support decision-making.

Join us at the 2nd Michigan Joint Juvenile Justice Conference at Shanty Creek in Bellaire, MI. This educational conference is being presented by the Juvenile Justice Association of Michigan (JJAM), the Michigan Family Court Administrators (MAFCA), the Michigan Juvenile Detention Association (MJDA), and the Northern Michigan Juvenile Officers Association (NMJOA).

The National Symposium on Juvenile Services is a unique forum that brings together field expertise across the continuum of care. Administrators, frontline professionals, clinicians, probation officers, advocates, educators, trainers, community supports, all coming to one location in the spirit of collaboration and professional development. The Symposium offers an irreplaceable opportunity to network and share innovative program services as well as real-life solutions to common barriers experienced across the nation (and sometimes beyond).

Each October, YJAM brings together advocates, policymakers, practitioners, and—most importantly—youth, to advance a vision that all children, youth, and families have opportunities to live safe, fulfilling lives in their communities. For years, CJJ has proudly played a leading role in organizing and participating in YJAM initiatives. From policy briefings and public education campaigns to storytelling projects led by directly impacted young people, we strive to ensure that youth voices are at the forefront.
