Announcing the availability of a new journal article authored by our Executive Director, John A. Tuell, and Deputy Executive Director, Jodi Martin, “Achieving the Possible on Behalf of Dual Status Youth.” This article, published in the Journal of Community Justice (Vol. 33, No. 01, Fall 2023), reviews the research on dual status youth programs and describes specific RFK National Resource Center collaborations with initiatives in four Ohio counties. The Ohio Supreme Court, in partnership with the RFK National Resource Center, has modeled how state level support in collaboration with local jurisdictions can produce highly effective, research-informed, replicable practices to improve outcomes for dual status youth in participant jurisdictions. This approach has the potential to produce exponential gains that literally save the future of dual status youth and reduce the historical duplication of resources in an atmosphere of strained service availability.
