Developing a collaborative teamwork - oriented approach between treatment providers, juvenile probation officers, agencies and most importantly, families - is an essential undertaking. Building relationships among individuals representing different agencies and interests, many of whom have traditionally played adversarial roles - is a key challenge. Agencies charged with the management of juvenile sex offenders are compelled to cross traditional lines in their work toward a common mission. Lisa and Brent will also tackle the threat of social networking sites, chat rooms, instant messaging, and other web dangers, in this half-day engaging, interactive training. Audience participation is encouraged.
