This session will build upon research that led to the creation of the report,
Expanding the Idea and Practice of Gender Responsive Programs for Contra Costa Juvenile Probation. Ceres Policy Research was hired to conduct an assessment of gender responsive programs for justice involved youth in Contra Costa County, California. We conducted a literature review, shared intersectional guiding principles, and created a checklist for what a continuum of care needs to include in order to affirm young people's multiple identities--particularly across race, ethnicity, gender identity and gender expression. This report extends our commitment to thinking about youth as whole people who cannot disconnect one aspect of their core selves from another.
