This learning program introduces the Crossover Youth Practice Model (CYPM), a multi-agency, cross-system practice model that aims to address the needs of youth involved in both the Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice systems. CYPM’s core goal is to further reduce youth involvement in the Juvenile Justice system in a manner that is consistent with the needs and best interests of the youth and the need for the protection of the community. CYPM was developed by the Center for Juvenile Justice Reform at Georgetown University. In New York City, it is a joint initiative of ACS, the Department of Probation (DOP), and Family Court. CYPM has been incorporated as a best practice for crossover youth citywide.
