Project Introduction
- AB 129 / Child Welfare-Juvenile Justice Systems Integration Initiative
Implementation
In the summer of calendar year 2007, the Los Angeles County, CA AB 129 / Systems Integration Initiative implemented an adopted protocol that utilizes a Multi-Disciplinary Team approach and complies with the provisions of AB 129 and CA Welfare and Institutions Code §241.1 as a pilot project in Pasadena, CA. The Executive Committee and several subcommittees and task force groups have finalized additional critical components that will re-shape the way in which Los Angeles County reacts to dual jurisdiction youth. Below you will find an impressive array of documents that will guide this pilot effort . These items include foci on the dependency, delinquency, mental health, substance abuse and education systems.
The CA AB 129 / Systems Integration Initiative has also developed an impressive methodology for evaluation of the project and child & family outcomes. Below are just a couple of the documents that, in tandem with some of those contained in Exhibit F, reflect this tremendous work.
