The Models for Change Project
Juvenile Justice Parent Forum
Do you have a child in the juvenile justice system?
Your opinions and experiences can help other families.
We are talking with parents and youth throughout Illinois to learn what they need to know or
wish they knew about juvenile justice and mental health systems. We want to learn from their
experiences, good or bad. We will use this information to create materials to help parents and teens
understand what happens in court, their rights and options. This project is funded by the John D.
& Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
We would like you to come to a parent meeting to share your thoughts. We would also like to show
parents and youth the materials we produce, to ask if they would be helpful, or how we might
make them better. Parents will receive a $25 gift card for their time. Snacks will be available and
children are welcome.
When: Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 4:00 p.m.
Where: State of Illinois Building
2309 West Main
Marion, Illinois 62959
Please let us know if you plan to attend by Friday, June 4, 2010 so we will have enough materials.
