Guidebook for Juvenile Justice and Child Welfare System Coordination
The child welfare and juvenile justice systems have historically operated separately, driven by divergent statutory mandates, funding appropriations, mission statements, and service plans that dissuade collaboration, coordination, and integration. A credible body of research, however, confirms an undeniable connection between child maltreatment and juvenile delinquency, as well as other negative outcomes in multiple domains. This illustrates the misguided nature of the silo mentality.

Secondary Trauma: Strategies for Impacting Individual and Organization Experiences with Secondary Trauma
Over the course of the past decade there has been a growing body of research on the impact of listening to children's trauma to the helping professional. There are times when the helper is traumatized by the very act of witnessing or listening to another's trauma. This experience--called Secondary Trauma can lead to significant pain and the emotional withdrawl of the helper. Lorrie Lutz has spent extensive time studying this topic and brings insight, opportunities for discussion, self assessment tools and strategies to help those experiencing secondary trauma. A " must" for organizational leaders who want to retain a healthy and effective workforce.
Assessment of Protective Capacities of Kin
We know that research tells us that when kin are the caregivers for children, permanency, safety and well-being outcomes are improved. However, there are also times when kin are not engaged by social workers or times when kin do not fully understand or are in agreement with safety threats that have been identified by the child welfare system. This important consulting product and accompanying tools---assists the child welfare practitioner in fully engaging kin and assessing the protective capacities of the kin.
Curriculum Development for Train the Trainers
State and county child welfare and juvenile justice systems are increasingly wanting to build internal capacity to train and support their line staff and supervisors. As a result of the significant number of requests for TOT curriculum L3 P Associates has developed a product line specifically devoted to this work. To date, L3 P Associates is in the process of developing TOT curriculum on Intentional Visitation for both supervisors and workers, Family Centered Assessment, Family Engagement, and Safety Assessment and Safety Planning.
