What do we know about girls? As Paula Schaefer, national consultant on female responsive services in the juvenile justice system, notes in her research - girls are relational. This means that relationships are central to girls' lives. The way girls perceive how the important people around them feel about them is the way girls will feel about themselves.  It is essential that we take lessons from the positive youth development movement and the restorative justice movement and see the potential in all girls and believe that they can change and grow and work through the difficulties in their lives with our support and guidance.

Girls in the juvenile justice system are, first and foremost, teenage girls. We need to see them as girls in the midst of attempting to understand themselves and determining who they are, girls who have existing strengths, assets, and wisdom; girls with major life stressors and trauma histories; girls with survival and coping skills, some of which are unsafe, unhealthy, and illegal, and some of which are healthy, safe, and creative. The Webinar will examine the challenges of and strategies for serving females during their time in the system.
