There is a noticeable gap in evidence-based tools that are tribally-adapted and validated for use in tribal communities.

With funding from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and in partnership with the Center for Court Innovation, Evan Elkin, Executive Director of Reclaiming Futures worked directly with the Yurok and Southern Ute Juvenile Healing to Wellness Court teams to adapt the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) for use in their Juvenile Healing to Wellness Courts.

This session will provide an overview of the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment practice and its use in identifying, reducing and preventing problematic use, abuse, and dependence on alcohol and illicit drugs among juveniles.

Evan Elkin will detail his experience working with the multi-disciplinary Juvenile Healing to Wellness Court teams from two Tribal communities Yurok and Southern Ute and the process for adapting the practice for the individual Juvenile Healing to Wellness Courts.
