As a leader in the human services sector for 140 years, we aim to advance the well-being of children by investing in families and strengthening communities through data-informed, collaborative, and preventative solutions.
The Juvenile Justice Specialist is a critical member of Brightpoint's team, providing strength-based, trauma-informed case management services to juvenile justice-involved youth. The program relies on a collaborative, wraparound approach to services, focusing on increasing protective factors, including emotional regulation and educational and vocational goals, to set youth up for a safe and successful future, free of incarceration. As a Juvenile Justice Specialist, you will meet with youth and families in their homes and other community-based locations, providing individualized services aimed at strengthening relationships, addressing trauma, and building positive community connections. You will also help youth and families to navigate the Juvenile Justice System, work closely with other service providers such as educational and workforce readiness programs, local probation departments, and mental health and substance abuse treatment providers to ensure coordination of services, and complete thorough and timely documentation, including assessment and service notes, using a web-based client services platform.
