This resource from the @annieecaseyfdn, “Adapting Practices in the Justice System for Emerging Adults,” explores how probation officers and defense attorneys can adapt their practices to better support the healthy development of young adults ages 18–25.

Based on lessons from emerging adult justice pilot sites, the resource highlights practical strategies such as supporting executive functioning through reminders and assistance with deadlines, using plain language instead of legal terminology to improve understanding and participation, and building rapport and trust by taking time to learn about young people’s interests and goals. These developmentally appropriate approaches can help emerging adults better navigate the justice system and may contribute to more positive outcomes. #mentalhealth #resilience #resilient #resiliency #youthmentalhealth #teenmentalhealth
