Session Description: This session will feature a mock intake as well as a Juvenile Healing to Wellness Court hearing where the presenters create a script that addresses some common issues that the Tribal Youth Resource Center has helped address via training and technical assistance. The intake will focus on some common questions and issues to avoid. During the performance, the group will take breaks to engage with the audience to gain their input on what next steps should be and what could have been done differently. The mock intake will address issues such as: family involvement, participant willingness, and confidentiality. The performance will culminate in a mock Juvenile Healing to Wellness Court Hearing where participants will play roles in going through a script that shows what to expect during a hearing and common issues that may arise during the intake/case management process.
