Screening Process: All youth who come to the court counseling office for intakes receive the GAIN SS. If the youth has a red flag on the GAIN SS or on the Risk and Needs Assessment, he/she is referred to the OPC/DJJ Liaison.

Assessment Process: DJJ Providers use the JASAE and the UCLA PTSD RI assessment tools for all youth referred by DJJ. Providers can use the GAIN I if they have staff certified in its use.

Treatment Process: Services will be offered based on the assessments. Youth receiving enhanced services will have monthly Child and Family Teams which will coordinate their plans using a strength-based approach.
