DCYF's Adolescent Programs division is hosting four town hall meetings to provide ongoing updates regarding the Transition and Independent Living Program Redesign Project. The agency is looking for feedback and participation from young people with lived experience in Juvenile Rehabilitation (JR) and foster care, foster parents, providers who serve foster care youth/alumni and the JR populations, and caseworkers. Attendees will also have the opportunity to receive updates about the project, themes collected, and participate in activities to share thoughts about what youth need when transitioning out of a DCYF system of care (Child Welfare and JR) and the services provided by our contracted Independent Living Program providers.
