The Center for Juvenile Justice Reform (CJJR) will host its 2017 LEAD (Leadership. Evidence. Analysis. Debate.) Conference on April 6–7, 2017, in Washington, DC. This year’s theme, “Moving from Research to Policy and Practice to Improve the Lives of Youth," coincides with CJJR's 10th anniversary, and the conference will focus on how professionals and partners in child-serving fields can apply research to policies and practices to meet the needs of youth and their families. Presentations and panel discussions will highlight cutting-edge issues in the juvenile justice, child welfare, education, and behavioral health arenas. The conference is designed for policymakers, practitioners, researchers, educators, judicial officials, community leaders, family members, foundation representatives, and stakeholders.
