Program Details:

Working with youth and adolescents presents unique challenges although many agencies choose to apply adult-based solutions. 

By contrast this course has been developed as a robust, live and interactive evidence based program to enhance the efficacy of correctional agencies, service providers, case managers and others who work with youth and adolescents. 

Following the program, participants will be in a position to more effectively deal with youth by gaining a better understanding of the research and meta-analyses surrounding effective interventions, cognitive behavioral, and other research based applications for delinquent youth. In addition they will get even better results as they learn to develop goals and objectives for Individualized Service Plans. 

Participants will learn to develop effective interventions, understand concepts and skills of cognitive behavioral and other evidence based approaches for successfully working with youth to prevent relapse and recidivism and help the youth succeed in community.

  • The research and meta-analyses surrounding effective interventions for delinquent youth.

Dr. Bette Neville is an expert among experts!  She worked at the Associated Marine Institutes in Tampa, Florida where she had been serving as Director of Treatment for the previous 5 years until this past June (2009) when she retired.  Her work there helped to lead that organization in the implementation of evidence-based principles and practices.  Thankfully she could not stay away for very long when Joyfields Institute sought her out.  She returns now to help others through training and development at Joyfields Institute.  We are privileged to have her on board as a trainer.

Dr. Neville became a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network Trainer (MINT) after completing the required training and is also a Certified YASI (Youth Assessment Screening Instrument) trainer.  She has served as President and Vice-President for the GA Federation of CEC and also served with AMI, a national organization dedicated to helping troubled youth who have been incarcerated or are at-risk. Her volunteer work has been serving on the Boards of these organizations, helping with resource development, and serving on the national team dedicated to making AMI the best in providing services to troubled youth.

During her time in active service, Dr. Neville worked in many roles including Special Education and Special Projects Director in the Evans County School System of GA.  She earned her Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Georgia Southern University (GSU) and earned a Adult Education Certification from the GA Dept of Education.
