Tow Youth Justice Institute The primary goals of the Tow Youth Justice Institute are:

1.

A university, state and private partnership established to lead the way in juvenile justice reform through collaborative planning, training, research and advocacy efforts. A “leadership training program” targeting law enforcement and key staff in public and private agencies to create a core group of individuals trained in youth justice and child protection reform who are committed to its sustainment.

2. Expanded UNH graduate and undergraduate curriculum to broaden course offerings and support the formation of a strong, innovative youth justice program and provide a national model for dissemination to other universities.

3. Increased opportunities for students to participate in youth justice internships and cooperative work experiences in collaboration with state, local and private agencies.

4. Research and evaluation services, providing evidence-based program development assistance to public and private agencies in the youth justice system.

Last Sunday, State Representative Tammy Exum joined "For the People" for a conversation about Connecticut’s efforts to expand access to children’s behavioral health resources, including Urgent Crisis Centers, 211, and 988.

As the new school year begins, knowing what resources are available and how to access them can make a difference for young people, families, and educators across Connecticut.

As promised, we are bringing you the full conversation. Hear more about the resources available and the work underway to strengthen behavioral health support for Connecticut youth.

September is National Su***de Prevention Month.

The numbers around youth mental health remind us that su***de prevention isn’t just about responding to a crisis, it’s about creating spaces where young people feel heard, supported, and connected before they reach that point.

Let’s use this month to learn the warning signs, start the conversations, and remind young people that support is available.

Call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Back to school means new routines, new expectations, and sometimes a little extra stress.

As the new school year begins, remember to check in with yourself, stay connected, make time to recharge, and ask for help when you need it.
You don’t have to have everything figured out. Take it one day at a time and remember that your mental health matters, too.

Learn more about supporting your mental health this school year: Mental Health America’s Back to School with Mental Health in Mind.
