Green Hill School recently reached 100% compliance with standards for health services in juvenile confinement facilities from the National Commission on Correction Health Care (NCCHC).

DCYF's Juvenile Rehabilitation (JR) recently launched its first recruitment video as part of the division's larger hiring and retention goals. Part of this work has been to reshape the narrative of what working in JR looks like and define the type of people who would excel in the JR workspace.

Learning systems and educational outcomes for young people in secure facilities have been wrought with challenges and barriers every step of the way. For many young people in Juvenile Rehabilitation (JR), school has been a negative and sometimes harmful experience.

Every day of the year, Juvenile Rehabilitation (JR) staff provide critical support to justice-involved youth. Last year, the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) unofficially named July as JR Staff Appreciation Month to celebrate and honor the important work of these public servants.
