Then write a paper on what collaboration means in the juvenile justice system? What
multi-disciplinary organizations for working together for the betterment of youth who becomes
in contact with the above mentioned system. Collaboration is a methodology for providing the
juveniles as well as their families with a variety of services that could be more cohesive as well
as efficient in providing support and guidance as compared to the traditional separatist approach.
Considering the complexity of the Juvenile Justice System, an approach of involvement of multi-
agency that are multi-disciplinary who can bring expertise from different fields have the
potential of bring successful outcomes for all the juveniles who have been in contact with the
above mentioned system. However it can be considered that the potential usefulness of working
as a team can be time as well as resource intensive and sometimes emotionally draining too.
Among all these collaborative ventures, the achievement of one can be seen as a positive
energy and a common purpose as well as a mutual togetherness among all these contributors.
The juvenile is desired to be recognized for their positive results and outcomes. As a youth
intervention, you should include a team with an educator, physician, social worker, or others.
Studies have shown that teens who are associated with the criminal justice system or are
newly released prisoners would be more likely to have myelopathy. The (Shufelt & Cocozza,
2016; Wasserman et. al., 2014) study indicates that the youth involvement in the criminal justice
system is largely attributed to the mental health disorders associated with the young person who
are often manifested in a lot of physically intractable ways as well. In addition to criminal justice
institutions and their programs for individuals dealing with the eating disorders, there is also

access to care and counselling institutions and facilities that are not available within the human
society. Youth volunteer services like youth courts are unable to deny youth with care needs.

Notice the metaphysical issues that can keep you from promoting mental health services.
Every organization each comes to the meeting room with their assigned legal mandate, their
specified aim, and their objectives (Osher, 2012). The criminal justice system has agreed to come
together with other interesting changes to meet the demands necessary for public safety and
delinquency. Mental health systems care for developing positive life outcomes, including
becoming a happy family member or a healthy employee. However, to do this, you will need to
finance organizations in a way that is not consistent with other organizations, have several
additional employees that are funded as well as support staff in order to execute. The partnership
would benefit both organizations, which would enable both of them to successfully do their
missions.
You will both best work through your target divisions by having everyone speak to each
other, and, what better way to work together as equal partners, than as a team. And you can bring
this with you at work and introduce it during job interviews, or even during office meetings with
other coworkers. In addition to traditional strategies, such as services for identification as well as

Things that go up. The public health department and the criminal justice department
should collaborate to work together to strengthen public health and juvenile justice health as a
whole. The agencies or services are financed differently, and it is important that they be handled
in a way that is fully autonomous. Even though there are many people participating in the
discussion, they are very much based on their own resources and self, they do not seem to be
working together for the common goal (Osher, 2012). Sharing of specific information between
agencies may be a difficult thing to do as it is very difficult to find out which information is
going to be necessary to ensure that the data in question meets all relevant legal categories but at
the same time protecting the youth's Constitutional right against self-incrimination (remember, if
you care about youth protection, you might also want to consider Youth Law). There are several
different methods by which people decide to identify mental disorders, including by self-
When these organizations have courses of mutual contact with each department, it may
be for each department to send messages to each other and it is very important for each
department to rely on their online profiles to communicate. If acronyms and jargon are being
used, there is a greater likelihood that an organization is perceived as being solely centered on its
mission. Because of this, it will be a challenge to connect with the audience (Leone, et al., 2012).
In criminal justice, "at risk" means being potentially arrested, while "risky" means facing arrest
or prosecution. In social security, "at risk" means being at a risk linked with one one's moral
responsibility, while "risky" means being at a high risk linked to one's behavior. Ensuring the

systems are mutually compatible is a very difficult and time consuming task. There are a variety
Patients that are resistant to the medication. There are times where two people or two
organizations are forced to split up and operate separately because one person or one will needs
to fulfil the demands made by the other person or organisation. Based on past changes to other
organizations, we would expect these changes to affect those in our organization by raising
concerns and generating a lot of work and responsibilities. Agencies like the FDA start with a
group of experts, many of whom have tones of expertise in specific fields. They then have an
organization that is built around the concerns and issues that will arise (Osher, 2012). Within a
collaborative work culture, people's roles and functions might stretch beyond their normal
boundaries and new contexts that they look at to learn how to collaborate with people from
different distinctions and cultures. Staffs plan in particular the protocol by the following
methods.
This service, which aims to support adolescents who are at risk of being juvenile justice
system participants, is very difficult to work with, especially in a criminal context, but if it works
correctly, it can have long term benefits because it builds community and buys youth a second
chance at a healthy and positive future. We have to tackle many different topics while we
continue to work together on these items. There are things we can do to jump-start the
development of AGWs. Approaches that can help children be returned to their families can help
these children resolve what may be causing them to be kept in the criminal justice system.
Jesus has mentioned about teamwork in several places that has been mentioned in the
Bible at several places though nothing has been mentioned for the juvenile justice in direct form

It is mentioned in Peter 4: 8-10, “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers
a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a
gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace”.
This verse emphasizes for focusing on the requirement of the teammates. How to use
their talents and positivity in order to serve others and how to adapt their skills to bridge the gaps
within the organizations. Furthermore it has been emphasized to work together with patience,
Ecclesiastes 4: 9-10 stated: “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their
labor: if either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has
In this verse again the emphasis has been laid on the teamwork and togetherness. It is a
famous proverb that “Mount Everest cannot be climbed being alone”. Means, nothing can be
done alone no matter how big or small the act may be. It is necessary to look for opportunities
for working up together and being cooperative with each other to solve the problems and have
peaceful life.
Although none of these versus is directly related to the Juvenile justice system however it
can be interpreted and linked/related to the juvenile justice system as well because Jesus has
talked about the youth at several places and this could be found in Bible at several places. Jesus
has told the youth to follow the righteous path and had emphasized on the parents and the
support system to take good care of the children and the youth to keep them on the right path.
