Now Available: Wellbeing Focus in Juvenile Justice Webinar Recording

FFI’s innovative, effective work with Missouri’s juvenile justice system was the subject of a national webinar, sponsored by the federal Department of Justice’s Defending Childhood initiative, in partnership with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and Futures Without Violence. An audio/visual recording of Applying an Adolescent Wellbeing Focus in Juvenile Justice Assessment and Treatment Planning is now available. Presenters Katya Smyth, FFI’s CEO, and Phyllis Becker, Interim Director of the Missouri Division of Youth Services (DYS), shared information about the application of the Five Domains of Wellbeing to youth, the way in which the Five Domains of Wellbeing is being used in Missouri, and the successful partnership between FFI and DYS that made this possible. A total of 331 people registered for the webinar, about 1/3 of whom were from the juvenile justice field and the remaining hailed from a wide variety of fields, including law enforcement, medical and education.

The Full Frame Initiative believes ending racism and advancing racial equity depends on increasing access to wellbeing — the needs and experiences essential in combination and balance to weather challenges and have health and hope. The United States is set up to make it easier for some people to have access to wellbeing than others, based on their race and ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender identity, disability status and other identities. Differences in access to wellbeing create differences in experiences and outcomes, and this perpetuates inequities. In particular, racism is a key part of what keeps inequity alive in the United States. Ending racism and other forms of oppression in our country depends on a broad and deep recognition that we all share a universal drive to wellbeing, we all have a right to wellbeing, and we all deserve a fair shot at wellbeing. FFI is an anti-racist organization committed to addressing issues of racial and social equity in all our work.
