Creating Avenues to Success for Troubled Youth and Their Families
This project advocates for juvenile justice policy solutions that maximize opportunities for troubled youth to become productive, law-abiding adults. We promote increased resources for community-based alternatives to incarceration, treatment for substance abuse and mental health problems, restorative justice practices, and pathways for successful re-entry.
TCJC sponsors the Texas Families of Incarcerated Youth (TFIY), a network comprised of family members of youth who are or were incarcerated in the state secure facilities. TFIY provides support and information to other families of system-involved youth, and it advocates as a unified voice for systemic change to improve Texas’ juvenile justice practices.
For more information, please contact our juvenile justice professionals, Benet Magnuson or Jennifer Carreon, at (512) 441-8123, ext. 105 or 103. Our juvenile justice team members can also be reached by email at bmagnuson@criminaljusticecoalition.org or jcarreon@criminaljusticecoalition.org.
