Youth Assessment and Screening Instrument (YASI)/CaseWorks assessment

DCJS is continuing an initiative to provide expert training to probation departments on evidence-based practices, case assessment and case planning utilizing the YASI/CaseWorks instrument. This training is considered essential for enhancement and sustainment of the enacted Raise the Age (RTA) Law. This training provides probation officers with critical skills and tools needed to conduct valid assessments and develop meaningful case plans for justice-involved youth. The training will cover behavior analysis, mapping, assessment feedback, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed methods through direct training and coaching, among other job-related topics to ensure the best possible outcomes for justice-involved youth by reducing recidivism and enhancing public safety. This is not a solicitation, this is notification of intent to enter into a Sole Source procurement.
