Psychosis Screening in Juvenile Justice

"The JJ worker reviews with the family psychoeducation material about the role of mental health care in emotional/behavioral problems. The JJ intake worker will contact the CSC program directly with the family for a warm hand-off. The CSC worker will speak with the parent and arrange for an intake evaluation. For families already receiving treatment, the CSC referral will be for consultation. Via phone, the CSC clinician will use a motivational interviewing style to encourage families to attend the appointment. Three and seven days after referral, the JJ worker will text the caregiver to see if the CSC appointment was kept. If not, the JJ worker will text the parent the CSC phone number and also ask permission to contact the CSC to assist the family in setting up another appointment."
